  1. Just been amended 10am-3pm, last entry 2.30pm. So shutting an hour earlier
  2. Thanks both. Good to know my thinking was right, fill up the water tank and I may be able to move more easily but not necessarily stop (or steer) 😁
  3. With water generally being shallow in a lot of places got me thinking... With no change to the weight at the stern (i.e diesel tank staying full) would filling the water tank at the bow raise the stern at all or just lower the whole boat? (With no expertise in the mechanics I assume that effectively pushing the front down a bit would pivot the boat around its mid point and the back would go up a little, or am I talking twaddle?)
  4. Except they've just announced its closing soon too 🙄
  5. Following continued monitoring of the exceptionally dry weather and its impact on water resources, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close the Leicester Line (Grand Union Canal), from Watford Lock 1 to Kings Lock 38, to navigation, effective from Tuesday 29 July 2025 at 4pm. https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/01980e8f-a7ee-7611-9264-b2cef3d03f7b
  6. How about if we all just leave any water point taps running to top up the cut? 😛 (For those of a nervous disposition I'm definitely not being serious here)
  7. Bit of a stretch for a week's hire maybe? That's our current plan for a fortnight in August, so keeping a very close eye on proceedings at the moment 😬
  8. Sorry, being thick - which one/ where is that?
  9. It's not technically moored so I guess the 14 day limit doesn't apply 😄
  10. Is it this one? If so, then this pic was taken about 2 weeks ago I believe
  11. Yeah, sorry was on my mobile so in a rush and didn't post the content, just a link. My bad. Also of note from this notice (my bold): "If it rains enough to allow safe navigation, restrictions will be lifted immediately: this is likely to require sufficient and prolonged rain over several weeks rather than a sudden very heavy downpour."
  12. From CRT: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notices/01977da6-c632-7891-8201-261377000edc
  13. We probably could. However much better to get back if we can as cars etc will be in the right place. Will have a chat with the next users nearer the time when we've hopefully got a better picture of what is (or isn't!) open 👍
