That won't stand up to much wine though, maybe better with something like... https://www.fullyrugged.co.uk/panasonic-toughbook-cf-19-core-i5-mk4-rare-finger-touchscreen-tb444?language=en¤cy=GBP&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhIP6BRCMARIsALu9Lfkvoc4I5nWFWcbTA3gjYVBCmJ2qFCBrn5mZt0yvdXbkX-fO4Axzil4aAuS0EALw_wcB

On the iPhone it's; Settings Personal Hotspot Allow Other to Join - turn on then set a Wi-Fi Password On other phones/devices it then shows as an available WiFi network that they join using the password you set above, so very similar to Android
-
Its a setting on your phone that makes it act like a WiFi router, so other devices can connect to it and use its data if you give them the details. Some phone companies used to frown upon this practice, think they pretty much all allow it now.
-
Some are a bit old fashioned and not even convinced of the merits of a TV, suspect a dedicated MiFi device would blow their mind Its been suggested this years AGM is conducted via a Zoom meeting.........

i'll probably go for something like that when we splash out on our own boat, but whilst we're in a syndicate it's too much outlay for 8weeks a year. i may change my mind if the cheapy ones don't cut it though
-
My phone is on GiffGaff, which despite using the O2 network does not get the same signal my wife's work phone does on O2 so no good for that, its on a cheap tariff and i have no need to change it. The dongle is only used on the boat or on other holidays and its just easier to have everyone including guests connect to that, works for us, other opinions are available
-
Ours survived ok the other week when it hit 30something, but on a couple of moorings we had to remove it from the window and stick it on the bench in the well deck to get a better signal. I'm now looking for an external antenna for it to avoid this in future.

something like this: https://www.mymemory.co.uk/3-payg-4g-trio-data-sim-pack-with-36gb-data-30-days.html in something like this: https://ebay.us/NPKWXy just blue-tack the Huawei to the window and recharge it whilst cruising those are just examples and not necessarily the best place to buy, gives you an idea though

Could just be me, but that does not look legit -
i’ll just throw another hat into the ring with: https://www.waterwayroutes.co.uk/wr/maps-four-counties-ring.html it won’t show you pubs & shops but will show you all the relevant canal stuff

We did exactly that mid-April last year as there were no moorings at the lake, were too late for the last transit, and needed water anyway. was nice and quiet and we didn't see a soul until the staff arrived next morning. oddly enough we heard later it was best not to stop at the lake because of vandals ?

the three narrow bits are only after you make the turn at Trevor basin really, and they're not that bad. Just send crew up first until they reach one of the passing points, or wait for another boat with crew or the trip boat and follow it through. Never understood those who go as far as Trevor to "do the Pontcysyllte" then turn round, if you don't go to the basin you're missing the best bits IMHO. The locks at New Marton can be quite the bottleneck, so perhaps the chap behind was in a rush to get them done?
-
why do you think we're having them done had enough of flat ones, converting to pitched
-
we've picked a great time to have the extension roofs done ?
-
Why isn't there a canal live stream on Youtube?

from what i gather from Facebook its being dredged as it was well silted up, also new jetties and facilities block going in. 4-6weeks work they reckoned. all boats moved across to Park Farm as its owned by same people.
-
Was this on the Oxford somewhere between the Ashby and Hillmorton locks? We passed a line of boats moored before a bridge (forget which) and the last one squeezed in before the bridge hole had three gennies on the back under the pram hood, two of which were running and sat side by side, the engine was also running at quite high revs. This was mid afternoon and we were looking for a mooring, so glad it wasn't there, we felt sorry for all the other boats moored nearby.
-
was just going to suggest Armada Boat Hire as Jack passed us this morning before we set off from last nights mooring on the Ashby, we’re now moored up for the day on the Oxford and its passed us again at near full chat. So i can safely say there's nowt wrong with its engine ?
-
oddly enough saw four last week, but all were written as MEAND'ER, and all definitely different boats don't see many Kingfishers

i'd often wondered what happened to the Disco Volante

i thought Anglo Welsh might do with their "Heritage Class" but seems they are semi-trads
-
Weds or Thurs, can't remember which. back on next week but not sure which direction we're headed, really enjoyed the part of the Coventry that we did, far nicer than we'd anticipated.
-
we did but saw nobody, just a shiny boat and some washing did pass @ditchcrawler though who seemed a bit nonplussed at my enthusiastic greetings
-
if a "league table" is started you can definitely stick Dunchurch Pools much higher than Overwater, and it doesn't even have a helpful island to do a lap of when you realise you're not going to make it on this attempt
