    Maybe "safer" that rolling over in the river
  2. ditchcrawler
    That is why @Tam & Di method of using ropes in locks is safer.
  3. ditchcrawler
    Why, no one else does.👿

    They don't flash and move when you press a button, not interactive.

    Have you seen the poor bloke down there handballing all the crap out up to a skip when they are full. You can make those comments on the survey. Maybe CCers don't join IWA so in which case they couldn't make their views known
  8. ditchcrawler
    Well I filled the survey in and sent it off.

    Remember a few of CRT employees are also boaters and have the same views as some of us on here. They will see what is happening against what is being said and feel its wrong.

    I wear bib and brace in the summer, boiler suit in Autum and spring, thermal overalls in the winter. A couple of the jigsaw are very CRT like

    Reef Knot is in the name, for putting a reef in a sail Handy to tie in the end of a line to drop over a bollard. I have used it on the Thames when on unmaned locks. .Tied in the end of the stern line and dropped over a bollard then the boat controlled with the bow line. You can flick it off the bollard standing on the boat which is another advantage. In fact anywhere you want to temporary secure the boat to a bollard

    Out of my price range, I pay about £2 for a tee shirt not £20 from Aldi or The Factory Shop. But I hope its a success and another income stream for them rather than the usual white elephant they tend to keep

    I wrongly assumed you meant a sign somewhere near a lock, reservoir or other structure. If the information is on the notice you don't need a smart phone or OS map, but the emergency services you call will have access to both. Why didn't you tell the emergency services you were at the gates of the hospital ?
  19. ditchcrawler
    So what information would you give to the emergency services to locate someone in trouble, both what 3 words or a grid reference will get them there

    Didn't they have a plan to standardise water points some time ago, removing the cast iron ones and replacing them with lockable stainless steel things. I think the locks at £80 a piece probably lasted the best part of a week before they both went and CRT gave up on replacing the cast iron stands

    Something I never use

    I was trying not to remember those days over 20 years ago now
  24. ditchcrawler
    Well there are only just over 25,000 members
  25. ditchcrawler
    Before I owned a boat so over 22 years ago I can remember 3 big BW chaps going down the towpath to have a word with a chap who didn't have a licence, that was the N Oxford. They weren't going to duff him up, it was so they weren't on the receiving end
