  1. Don't forget that the actual boundary at Chirk is not at the English end of the aqueduct but is but actually half way across the aqueduct, the river below being the boundary between England and Wales. Its probable worth cruising the banned extra hundred yards to wind at the tunnel entrance.

  5. Or better still moor between bridges 7 and 8, plenty of rings and not shaded, 25 minute brisk walk into Brewood
  6. Same engine as mine, I have just clocked 14,000 hrs and the engine is 15 years old, getting a service when I remember, usually around 300 hrs.
  7. Still the same as of last September, the section after the bridge is not yet in water although a further section is, so I suspect not too long before it is opened to the next (new) winding hole and heavy duty moorings.
  8. It can be good fun to frighten the bejasus out of some folk. Mine is an Isuzu 42 but the Morse controller is probably the same. Some are incorrectly adjusted and the owners just accept the settings.
  9. I have respect for other boaters, when I pass it is in stealth mode and frightens the life out of moored boaters by appearing with no warning. Luckily I have a low rev engine in tickover and do sometimes wonder whether some boats have their tickover set too high as this is the case with one of my relatives who insists that is how the engine has always been.
  10. Been up and down Bosley many times in the last few years and I have never seen any lockies. Where do they hide?
  11. The old entrance to the Hollins branch can still be seen be seen bricked up, just before the entrance to lock 13 and the Lime Kilns branch entrance can be seen to the left of lock 13 entrance.. Map showing the original branches
  12. The latest stoppage notice suggests a short window in the middle of June and open all of July, possibly August.
  13. The latest news is that there will be an emergency window of a couple of days, possibly by mid June for movement of boats and they are hoping to reopen temporarily for July and August.
  14. As others have said, it is a case that the no staying overnight is a one size fits all which is not equal in a number of situations. I live in the same county that my boat resides in. It takes me 40 minutes to drive to the boat from home. I should add that the nearest major hospital to me is 30 minutes from home (probaly 20 minutes or less on blues and two's) and the boat is 10 minutes from the same hospital. Ok there are a couple of smaller hospitals nearer with limited services. Perhaps the no staying overnight should have been only if you go outside your council tax area and still isolated yourself.
  15. Went into Superdrug the other day and noticed they have a sim only deal of unlimited everything for £20 a month. Don't know which network they use.
  16. Latest expiry date is now shown as 2021, updated on 5th May, so it appears that it has been renewed. The site is running as of todays date. Irrespective of any new owner of a domain name, most of the data will still be available on archive.org, I still have a chuckle at some of my early developements from 1998.
  17. There are lessons to be learned by some of the breweries/pub co's., a prime example is Tim Martin (Wetherspoons) who could not lay the staff off fast enough, along with not paying his bills to suppliers. Having said that there are some shining lights who should be fully supported when pubs reopen. One of the better examples is Frederick Robinson Brewers in Stockport who have furloughed two thirds of their staff on the closure of pubs, the remaining staff carrying on brewing for their packaging plant supplying all their off sales trade. They have also cancelled all rents to tenants until the tenanted pubs reopen (notice - cancelled not frozen), freezing repayments of loans and interest charges to all tenants along with the promise to replace any products passed their sell by date free of charge. They have also paid all their suppliers in full at the end of March and will continue as time goes on.

  19. Latest is: Please be advised navigation will remain closed between Bridge 2 and 3 on the Macclesfield Canal whilst we await the results from the Ground Penetrating Radar Survey. Our engineers will then need to review the findings to plan a method of action. An update will be provided Tuesday, 17 March 2020.
  20. I suppose now that the meeting is cancelled that all the participants will go to their local pub somewhere. 160 odd cases ( some recovered ) out of nearly 70 million, someone needs to get a grip.

  24. You really are something else ? You expect a company offering a free repair service to come out. dismantle the cover, take it back for repair and then return and refit. Whilst all this travelling time is wasted they could repair many others in the workshop, for free.
  25. According to the Joules website " the Market Drayton brewery has access to Pure Mineral Water drawn from the same Aquifer as the original Brewer " I presume this means the deep well draws from the same filtered permeable rock strata.
