  3. Completely agree. "Don't worry, he won't hurt you" But it's fine you him/her to jump up and wipe his/her filthy paws all over my clean clothes???
  4. I would think it more likely that CRT will bury their heads in the sand and just allow all their waterways to deteriorate. Closing a specific canal would be a tricky thing to justify to all the canal-dependent businesses along its length. I'd predict a major uproar if a canal was to simply close, but maybe that's what's needed.
  5. Ditto. I'm not sure the customer service of any telecoms company is great, but Three are utterly abysmal. If you're on Three, just pray nothing goes wrong.

  8. I usually try to do Grindley Brook early. Especially at this time of year. Set off at around 6am and it's somewhat quiet.
  9. True. They're easier to deal with than locks though.
  10. Do you specifically want a marina, or just a permanent mooring? There's are lots of linear moorings on the Southern part of the Shroppie, and you'd have 25 miles of cruising with just one easy lock in the middle. Or from the top of Grindley Brook to Llangollen is 32 miles and just 2 locks, and it's a very pretty canal (although popular).
  11. If being near Brighouse and having hook-up is needed, Aspley Marina in Huddersfield would be a good option. The linear moorings are charged by the foot so may well be cheaper than CRT moorings for the OP. Huddersfield to Brighouse is about a 10 minute drive. The linear moorings are also close to the shower block, making living on a small GRP boat a much more pleasant experience.
  12. BCN does not stand for Birmingham Canal Network. Nice video though.
