I’ve got 2 of these one with a large Grand Union size socket? and one with an Oxford size. Sure they came from a WRG stall at a rally years ago. They aren’t really useable but polished up they make a decoration. I have a long throw steel one which somebody drilled the hole out from a solid piece of metal and which was very useful up t North.

I’ve still got a pair I brought in Belgium about 10 years ago. Wear them every day . If that the place where the big park is in Bruges think the cobbles are still there.

Today in 2013 on the summit of the Briare canal. Meet up with our S.African friends in their Piper who were traveling in the opposite direction to us. Strange how often you meet people you knew without any planning.

Metalastik Coupling Sheared (6.25")
Dav and Pen replied to fladda's topic in Boat Building & Maintenance
I seem to remember that when we brought Tadworth there was a shear Bolt which was supposed to break instead of the metalastic joint but it’s a long while ago now. -
My wife hated these locks as she didn’t like all the people that were usually about and would start talking to her whilst she was trying to remember how to work them. She wasn’t keen on getting near the edge to look down either.

Today in 1999 on the Shannon Erne waterway. The mooring is at Houghton shores part way across and the signpost quite useful at the end.
-
Perhaps it’s an old eu thing although probably this place had some left over yellow paint.

The tomatoes are coming on nicely. Today 2016 at Clamacy Nivernais canal.

Interesting that the 1885 map shows the house being there and the gable end in the photo has a 1900 date brick built in. Possibly it was 2 houses at one time. It never had official road access when we were there but I often drove across the field to see Tommy,who was also responsible for the paddles on the puddle bank that controlled the level.

When we lived in Braunston in the 70s Tommy Johnson the lock keeper lived in that house and I always thought it was possibly a lengthmans house as it would have been built after the route was altered.

Today in 2018. It was common to have long periods of hot days in Burgundy. On this day we had electricity on the moorings so Barney found the coolest place.
