Ours are Caldwells and were fitted new in 1999. I re-attached a catch that came off last year and a few years ago I bought a roll of the hopper window "foam rubber" from Caldwells and did all the windows again. Other than that - no problems.

As far as I can see the Bridgewater Canal Company list has all the available moorings including marinas, boat clubs and private moorings.

Perhaps the Shropshire Union Canal Society will put some in like they have done elsewhere.

Thanks for the link Alan

There is an interesting story in the Manchester Evening News about a new house boat that has been told to leave the New Islington marina as it does not meet the criteria of a boat Can anyone provide a link please.

Due to the Middlewich breach and for the first time in 20 years we have not spent a week or two on the Llangollen canal. Always enjoy it and you cannot tar all boaters with the same brush.

Don't forget to recheck the tap on the hand pump.

Lymm Marina usually have some widebeams but I am not sure if they fit them out.

We bought an Avtex in a "freaky Friday" sale a few years ago. We do not have an inverter and run it on 12 volts. In areas with good reception we usually get over 100 channels although some may be duplicated.

It is a pity that CaRT do not take the opportunity to remove the scrap from the towpath before someone throws it back in again to foul a boaters propeller. A missed opportunity I think.

Update from CaRT today (27.07.18) 80 per cent of the pipework has now been completed.

Anyone local know if the new culvert has been completed? It was started last week.

The next excuse is that it is too dry to puddle clay.

When do you go and where from?
