And don't come onto the Weaver its so busy must be 20 boats on here at the moment

I enjoy The Levellers playing Boatman in any tunnel ;-)

I thought of renaming my boat Thunderchild as in the War of the Worlds then thought better of it as the Martians sunk her then a year or so back I passed Thunderchild on the Bridgwater canal and thought the name suited that boat better than mine

I love the sunny afternoon- that would make a great print to hang on the wall

Maybe that's why the 1 in Wigan was altered as the stop was were the rusty mark is on the catch. only just allowing you to clear the teeth

When I came through Wigan the other day a Lock that had had 1 those new pawls on had been "altered" so it was missing the stop. not sure who had done that but it was better

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue have just ordered one ! @ £50,000 I am sure they will lend it you

looks rather like the top of the Rufford branch of the L+L canal to me

oops sorry must have hit the font size :-(

That makes 2 of us

Yes Dean same guy, told him I had had a change of plans and was heading back, I am moored at Leigh tonight, just need the CaRT guy to log me here so I can prove I did not overstay lol

I have been on the Bridgewater 4 days and have had a knock on the boat twice in 2 different locations, Lymm+ Moore village. I intended to go to the weaver for 2 weeks then return to Wigan. I was told by the enforcement officer No return within 1 month so I would need a 7 day licence at £40 or get a £200 fine. Think it might be Because I have solar panels and look like a live aboard ;-)

The enforcement officer told me 7 day permits have always been available but they are now giving 1 month licences as well, that should say selling lol

PM sent Dean

moored over night in Lymm last night, got a knock on the boat this morning from the enforcement officer explaining the rules. Gave me the number of the licence officer and explained that 1 week and 1 month licences are available, just give them a call. The boat moored in front of me had an enforcement notice fastened to it as it was breaking the rules.Felt like big brother is watching you as I intended to move on today but he said I can have 3 days here as he had agreed that with a cruising club moored on the 48hr moorings. Pity this canal is not run by CaRT

There was at least 1 near Parbold on the L+L canal for a number of years but have not seen any this last year :-(

Looked a good idea till I saw not to be used indoor or near flammable materials as it can cause fires

Beer ! ( Homer Simpson)

I moored near two muckin futch the other week
