I've always got on ok in double locks using the open opposite gate technique...... except on the double locks into Chester, they mince up boats!!

Love the bow shape!!

I'd put money on them not honouring this if not fitted to a standard house?

Hi All With Summer coming I'll be sorting out the outside of the boat and painting. There are a few spots where its rusty/been rusty when the surface is uneven and if i prep/paint over it, it will be very noticeable - no big holes, just rough! I'm looking to find the best light/thin filler i can use to take a way the slight rough area.... I have P38 and P40 from ages ago and wondered if these would be ok to use or if the team would recommend something more suitable? thanks as ever!!!!! rob

forgot to mention my new favourite tunnel is Tardebigge - really lovely rock formations on the roof as you go through - very uneven!

no such thing as being overtaxed according to many who create taxes......

indeed... when i see what i think might be unsavoury people that could do something i get my phone out and make it look like im recording them......

We need to pay more tax, that'll sort it! There isn't a problem that can't be solved by paying more tax....

All now berthed at Droitwich..... been an 'interesting' trip through two storms and **** loads of rain.... but yet i still seem to have caught the sun??!! thanks for all the help from people! note to self - avoid lock flights in strong winds.... Saw your boat as we entered the Marina today... hope your trip went well after the windy start!

ah we saw you go by this morning..... we walked around to see if the tap was still there and got blown over so decide we might wait a while... later today/tomorrow....

in my defence this is so true of me as i have an inherited hearing loss (yes mum thanks for that!).. i cant hear much other than a beta 43... we met the most frustrated woman vlokkie at Tyrley locks, who was shouting instructions to me whilst i was near the previous lock then moaning nobody listens to her as shes a woman... she told all this to my wife who could only just hear her stood across the same lock.... the future doesn't look good for her anger management! my wife has cheekily asked where do we order..... rebellious crew!!!

thats good that its obviously not personal (!!!), but i'll get a reputation as the miserable git!

now moored in gas street... by eck its a tad windy! once again a forum member chatted whilst passing at brum for me to totally ignore them - my wife caught they are a forum member and thats it..... if it was you im so sorry!!!!!!

well decision taken out of our hands - we're off to Brum! pics so far of the trip! shetland ponies and dirty boats...

The cutting below Tyrley on the Shroppie is like a slalom course!

We're now at Norbury Junction and getting close to where we need to make a decision on the route..... the Severn seems to be improving and Droitwich now open so would it be best for me to confirm things by calling the lock keepers?

can i ask why ditch the good victron invertor/charger.. is it faulty?

This is looking more like we'll be coming from Brum! I'll keep an eye out!! at least we'll have the Rivers to do in the better weather...

If you can get over in the winter (maybe cheaper flights?) then most people tend to use those as 'cottage holidays' and dont cruise- somewhere cheap to stay to explore the local area! Hope it all works out for you!! which boat are you interested in?

its creeping back up bugger!!

Who else popped in to see poor quality boats.... ?
