Assuming that Netherton Tunnel is open, you can moor free of charge for up to a week at Hawne basin, its on the Dudley no 2 canal , in total it is about one and a half hours from the main line , they have all facilities , it is completely safe , having gone through Netherton tunnel turn left after about 400yds , ,, you go through Gosty tunnel on the way to Hawne Basin , it is as low in the middle of the tunnel as Harecastle is Ron Mattinson

I Have a PRM 150 , I drain the gear box oil into tupperware box , you can put the lid on to lift it out ,I find they have a very good seal, the other advantage is that having got the oil out you can then measure it , and return the same volume of fresh oil, the dip stick on the 150 is not easy to read.
