I am a welder . The most important thing is to make sure the metal is very clean where the welds are going and where the earth return clamps on the metal as above disconnect all battery’s etc face masks , auto ones are good if you buy a decent make have fun and don’t forget to get some welding gauntlet Graham -

We have just got back from our two weeks holidays on the K&A The weather has been kind to us most of the time and we had a good time We did have mixed feelings about this canal. it has very beautiful scenery. Hungerford,Devizes and Newbury were nice places to look around especially the cain locks but it was hard to find moorings . there seems to be a lot of rough looking boats that look as if they are just dumped Graham

Thankyou all for the info we are back home now we got from Aldermaston. To cain locks and back with no problems using Vodafone if that helps anyone Graham
