As BSP suggests, it is not hard to find this kind of stuff out!
yes, you're right. I asked you, that was easy.
Thank you.
It's interesting in what it doesn't say (as is the CRT website)
Enforcement? (support staff?)
commercial boating?
I'd love to have a count of all the signs that have already gone up, only to be there a short while before being ripped down again
I think you'll find that's called "user consultation"

Ive come down on a winters day with snow and hail stones.but with 4 helpers 1 in front setting locks .not sure how fast but i was frozen being on the tiller doing nothing it gets breezy up there in winter .
See post #4

We'll be doing this in the next couple of weeks....I think the plan is I'll do half the locks and Dave will do the other half. Just hoping it's not too busy and we hate holding up other people. Do all the locks in the flight have that little bridge at one end of the lock?
With a widebeam the way is for the steerer to do the off side and the crew the towpath side and don't leave a lock until the next one is ready. If there's only the two of you it's daft for the steerer to just do the boat.

People like conflict.
Conflict is drama.
Drama is entertainment
Nobody dies
That's at the navel-gazing end. At the useful end extremely useful and helpful snippets of information, more rarely knowledge and even on the odd occasion wisdom.
A bit more gossip is what it needs.

(He is called Parry!)
I'm still prepared to try to believe that is not the case.
I do think he has struggled with the legacy of attitudes of many in the old BW organisation, and although he has managed to move a few on now, he clearly can't sack all those who are not keen to take CRT where he might like it to go, and start again with fresh blood.
Of curiosity;
What is the size of this organisation we are talking about? Does anyone know? How many operational directors? Middle management? Admin staff? Front line workers? Departments? (Enforcement. Licensing. Marketing and PR. Moorings. Commercial boating. )
Is this written down on the web somewhere?

Maybe we can all agree that a tow off by Naughty Cal would probably cause more problems than it would solve given her attitude and lack of experience and that it's best that she just carries on without interfering.
Maybe the RNLI, with their RIBs who routinely rescue and tow heavier boats know something she doesn't.

Suggest you look up the difference between bollard pull and weight
-
Rubbish.
And that's 5 tonne
-
No-ones asking you to pick if up.If you had cleats rated at 2.5 tonnes strain would tow a beached steel boat weighing much more with them?]
-
It's much easier to pretend you can't help because your coastal rated cleats can't take any strain and then you can motor on past. ( probably waving cheerily at the same time to compound the feeling you generate in the stranded boat. )
Mind I am surprised that someone who bleats on about the Rules would so casually break the most important one.

VOC is generally a given in any specs - the most important one - the two choices are ( very broadly) 22v ish for 12v systems with PWM doubled for 24v and 36-40v ish used with large arrays and MPPT controllers .
-
It could be a dodgy connection. Have you taken voltage readings 1. Just after you reset the unit and 2. When the red ( dead battery ) light comes on. I would also, as a matter of course trace and remake every connection between controller and batteries. You should be able to get sense out of the controller with no array attached.
-
Check the oil.

One thing I've seen on this an other threads is the idea of 'chucking the anchor overboard'. This is wrong. An anchor should be deployed by lowering it. Paying out the last of the rope with a turn around the t-stud ensures there will be no snatch. It may seem like a stressful situation but nothing will be gained apart from the risk of fouling your anchor if you just throw it over.

It sank the diesel boom there was that much diesel so no not a over exaggeration!
That is an absolute Phylis Classic.
-
Italics in order;
50A
Yes
Impossible with flexible ones
(30A controller @ 12V = 500W)
No. It will reduce the output a bit though.
No. Match the array to the controller.
No (irrelevant)

I think you may have missed that this is a leisure mooring making foxhangers only a day further from Bath.
-
Yes. Go for larger rated panels (less of them) if you can, you'll get more benefit from the MPPT.
-
You could add several generator babies, 18" from the general public who swarm there. No car parking. Bins that are almost always fetid or used as a fly tip. A bendy bit of one of the most popular stag runs in England (day boats from one way, weekend booze cruises from the other). Yes 3 grand is pretty cheap for a place to live near Bath - except that's a breach of the terms and conditions and given the frequency of breakins along that stretch I wouldn't leave anything valuable there. Strange how this ever so desirable mooring near Bath always has vacancies.
-
Quite right too, in my opinion.

I don't condone squatting by the way.
Squatting was one of the greatest civil freedoms of this country.
Recently made a criminal offence after a few decades of that right being slowly eroded.

It might be a bit of a pain put your clothes on and ask* but a better idea than seething all night, fantasising violence, glaring in the morning, ranting impotently on a canal forum and being grumpy all day.
*Politely, as has been pointed out, they probably misunderstood the instruction of the hire company.

I can't find the manual I was looking at but in this one it's page 15 and 16

You can moor above the lock at Saltford, about 1/4 mile of good mooring alongside the road.
You can also moor on the outside of the lock mooring at Saltford.
There are unrestricted moorings in Bath just below Churchill Bridge.
There is water (long hose) and elsan just above Swineford but be warned there's no other services and no rubbish anywhere between Bristol and Bath
Moorings at 3 locks

It's quite unbelievable you would think it might be.
