  1. You'll be able to see what its like from the other side and how hire boaters get treated ? Alvechurch (ABC) are good from Wrenbury !

  3. Hi passed you the other day in "Herts". Here's a link to the electronic soft copy manual for your hob: http://www.stoves.co.uk/uploadedFiles/Shared_Resources/Documents/Stoves/Manual/SGH600C.pdf
  4. Great story - did you give him a pack of polo's ?? What the americans would call a potty-mouth..
  5. You still visit and post though, Mike. I've been a member of both CWDF and Just Canals for a long time and moderate on the latter. They are very different beasts and each has their own appeal. In fairness, the Just Canals site on Facebook is much, much busier than the website forum. The material/posts (and to a large extent, the membership) is very different on the JC forum website and the JC Facebook group.
  6. It will be interesting to see how many boats get caught out by the AC side of life. AC installations on canal boats has always been one of my soapboxes.
  7. Yes I was too polite to say - just checking.
  8. Thanks for that. So are you running 300W of panels on the 20A ?
  9. Thanks Matty. What size Tracer are you using ? I don't think I will use the remote option. The boats got a SmartGauge that I've just fitted and I will probably suggest an ammeter for the panel input.
  10. Did you fit the Tracer ? How do you find it ?? I'm normally a Steca fan, but the Tracer prices are very attractive and I'm looking to possibly fit one on a boat soon..
  11. There is quite a low bridge up there if you have a canopy - also watch the one at Roydon, especially with all the rain we have been having. There is a Lee and Stort group on Facebook if you need local knowledge at any point.
  12. I've built my own which is a GSM alarm (boat - shore direction) and switch (shore - boat direction) and has an optional GPS for tracking and an integral back-up battery which allows it to run for 3-4 days after the boat batteries has been disconnected. Will also silent alarm (by text) if the shoreline is disconnected.
  13. Tony has posted on the Just Canals forum today saying that Dreamcatcher has been sold, with a link to his photos from his last trip with the new buyers. He has bought a Hymer and is going to tour around in that.
  14. Lots of cheapy Chinese ones on Ebay or you could use the Nasa BM-1 Battery Monitor for 100A or BM-2 for 200A.
  15. By the way, they are deleting the Waterscape Group tomorrow and there is no plan by C&RT to replace it as such (i.e. as a chat group) - lack of resources apparently. They seem intent on just having the official C&RT pages..
  16. So was the net strung across Brick Lock ??
  17. That will be interesting - I'd be interested to know who steers best and most often !!
  18. Your photos brought back memories. We did the lower Shannon in borderline flood conditions, about 20 years ago, in a hire boat that had a leaky diesel heater (we wondered why we had rosy cheeks in all the pictures). The ignition key was made of chocolate I suspect, because it twisted apart when turned and we managed to bend a prop blade based on some dodgy navigational advice from the yard on the maiden voyage (yes I know, its always the skipper that takes responsibility for his craft). Anyway, we survived minus our deposit, but despite all that, had one of our best holidays ever and as always, learnt a lot more about boats in the process, which has stood us in good stead. Ireland is such a friendly and laid back place. We kept seeing the same boat of crazy German pike fishermen, who only had two speeds - ramming speed and fishing speed (all engines stop). I note once more that even when the weather is good in Ireland, the sky still looks angry.
