You are not navigating, just moving 100yds every 14 days. You are bridge hopping!! That definitely fits into the A - B - A - B catergory.

As said earlier, it is a document within the Public Domain, as are all "liquidation" documents if you care to look for them, therefore you are wrong. However I do agree that for this Forums use the redacted version is "better".

Whilst I partly agree with you, it must be remembered that this is a publically available document, by legislation, available to any member of the general public who wishes to see it.

Probably a H3, but if old might be a H1

Roger, I think you are trying to over-complicate the matter! All that is needed is a simple car fog light on the front of your boat, with no more than a 55w bulb, tilted slightly upward. For night time navigation you will find that the ambient light, reflecting off the water will be more than adequate to see your way through bridge holes.

Report button in the bottom right hand corner, then ask the Mods to move it.

Even worse, some of them copulate there as well!

Thanks. We do try to keep it clean and tidy.

Sections 7 and 37 of : http://www.bwml.co.uk/uploads/pdf-docs/1-56-BWML_Terms_and_Conditions_28Version_2011-29_FINAL_01_03_2011.pdf make interesting reading, but I bet most of the complainants here haven't bothered to read the full documentation linked to here!

Please state this Case Law. And can you please provide a full copy of the Terms & Conditions for your moorings. You might be surprised what they contain!

I very much doubt that your car has 2 100w driving lamps, since the legal max wattage at 12v is 55w!! As said, all you need is one fog light pointing up towards the roof of the tunnel about a length and a half ahead of you. Pointing anywhere else can too easily "blind" an approaching boat. If you need side illumination then turn the interior lights on, they are normally more than adequate

Well said Sue!!

And another one in Yorkshire: http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/feb/18/sixth-sinkhole-in-a-month-wrecks-north-yorkshire-home?CMP=fb_gu

Haven't got a clue; I just pull the levers!! (I see it is after all!!) This is the frame in the locking room: Good question Bill. I suspect it will something that is no longer done. TBH it doesn't happen very often now. Our Box is due to close in 2017, and I'm 65 in 2018, so I hope they come up with a suitable package. The way they have been with the latest closures everything was itemised, even down to the paperclips!! And they continually monitor ebay for stuff!!

Emilia, welcome. Don't know where you boat but I don't think your description is any more valid about the canals as it would be about any other sphere of life. There are miserable and jealous gits in every field. If they worry you that much ignore them!!

Not required, Richard. As it is a paraffin lamp, and therefore always lit, it would show when the gates are open to the road traffic anyway. And believe it or not the presumption was (is) that the lamp is lit, unless notified otherwise. Some paraffin lamps even had a low voltage electric circuit that was held "off" when the flame was lit, which linked to an indicator light in the Box, but normally for signals only. Signal lamps also have a small lens to the rear of the body and facing away from the direction of travel, that show a small white light, so we can check at night, even now.

And the pulling of the "lock" lever was interlocked with the signal lever, so the latter couldn't be pulled until the former was probably back in the frame. Our number 1 lever is the "proving" lever for our barriers and is normally out of the frame, so the proceedure is to drop the barriers, replace No1 into frame, then signal as normal. In this picture No1 is the one with the duster on it and "out" of the frame. [url=http://s173.photobucket.com/user/Llanigraham/media/Bromfield/Bromfield1308002.jpg.html][/ URL] As that is the "Up" signals proceedure would be: Barriers down 1 in then 5 (starter/section) then 4 (home) then 3 (distant) out (2 out of use)

The "proving" that the gate was closed to road traffic, especially if the gates were interlocked with the approach signals, would have been by mechanical means, and not Mk1 eyes. That is still the case even with the few "ship's wheel" operated gates left in the country, and was also the case with hand operated gates, such as the old gates at Llani Rd (http://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/74/41/744146_32d33fbd.jpg) Now replaced by barriers!

Want a bet!!? We still check for "passed complete with tail lamp", and I know of 2 "divided trains" locally in the last 2 years. I've ever sent "9" and "4-5" once in the last 12 months. (Light had actually gone out) And actually we do look at "side" lights on passenger trains now, especially the orange lights above the doors to show whether they are properly closed. If seen we are required to bring the train to a stop as soon as practical so they can be checked, especially if there is a risk of a passenger falling/jumping out. Most unlikely!

What Tree wrote was perfectly understandable, and, as usual, written in her own inimitable style!

WTF are you on about?
