  1. This morning we approached Tyrley locks there where 6 boats in front of us waiting at at lock 5 ,by the time it was our turn there was about 10 boats behind us ,I would like to know how many more where there after we had got to lock 1. I would like to just say a very big thank you to the Pegram family of the boat pearl,,arron Davies Kimberly family of the boat idun , and others who took it upon on there selves to help most boats if not all of them through the locks adding to this all those helpers were of hire boats ,so here's a big thumbs up and a thank you ,,hope you all enjoy the rest of your hols
  2. I think we could all be blamed for that in some way even at 4 mph .so what's the name of the boat you want to report Errrrm don't now it was going to fast lol
  3. If I could go where I go in my narrowboat I would have a wide beam tomorrow then again if I could afford one I would have one today. I still can not get use to being looked at by other narrowboaters as if I should not be there on the same canal as them I put them in the idiot bracket they now who they are probably the same people who look down on the widebeams
  4. Hi ,yesterday I was coming around the corner at hurleston jct and I have never seen a narrowboat going that fast ever , there was a couple walking on the towpath and they too where amazed , the wake of the said boat came over on to the towpath and they had to jump out of the way of it ,,I don't know if they where having trouble engine wise or not it was going that fast I could not ask . I now it should not but it did make me smile did anyone else come across this ,
