I dunno. Suspect at full pressure it's in the region of 2000 Bar.
Do you mean PSI? 2000 bar is nearly 30000psi, which I would suspect would cut through steel🙄 and I doubt very much you would be able to hold it.

IMO either Melling just before the swing bridge which is 10 miles from the top of the Stanley flight or Litherland CRT gated moorings next to the Tesco which is just over a mile to Stanley flight.

We were down the Monty last November, the new section down to Crickheath wharf was completed and re watered as we were there, but the team doing the restoration said that it wouldn’t be open for navigation until Easter. So the limit is as you say, still at Gronwyn bridge. We winded and moored at the navigation inn and walked down to see the new section.

That's encouraging. Thanks.
Do you recall what epoxy was used and how many coats?
Matt at Northwich uses Dacrylate Epidac 2 pack, or he did last summer on our boat. Jet washed using a 4000psi machine, then 3 coats of epoxy 2 pack rollered on including the baseplate(optional).
First class service by Matt & Rebekah.

Indeed, I'm convinced it they take misery pills to be get in them to in the right mood.
I've often chatted to them whilst they are carrying their tackle to their preferred fishing spot and having winded, been ignored when I pass them on my way back when they are fishing.
A bit of a rich comment considering some of the whingeing scrotes that frequent this forum 🙄

Only if there is an exit. If you have a fire at sea you had better be good at putting it out or you will be in for swimming practice/liferaft drills.
Fire Brigades tend not to have much experience with boats. Firstly, if there is no one inside then its is more about fire control than extinguishing. (Sensible move.) Secondly they tend to work on the principle of squirting plenty of water at anything hot. OK in a house but that can result in a very unstable or sunk boat unless someone remembers to pump the water out as fast as it is being put in.
The RN nearly lost HMS Bristol to too much firefighting water insifde and I hear the USN got close with USS Bonhomme Richard, both alongside at the time of the fire.

not quite, modern firefighting techniques have come a long way from from just pouring water in copious amounts, in fact quite the opposite. Training now involves, and has for a number of years, compartment cooling and the reduction of possible flashover and backdraught by pulsing water spray into the unburnt gases at ceiling level and allowing the steam from that initial attack to cool the gases and potentially extinguish the fire before entry by firefighters into that compartment.
Fire and rescue services that also have a coastline as part of their area, ie Kent, Dorset, Suffolk etc also undergo firefighting training on ship fires, as do brigades who have an airport in their area undergo aircraft fire training as a back up for airport fire services who are the primary attack but do need back up from nearby stations.

That was a waste chemical fire I was told. lots of black smoke.
Do the fire brigades have extraction licences?
They must have pumped a heck of a lot of water, the pound back to Rumps lock is long.
Can C&RT blame them for the water shortage on the Cheshire Locks?
They don’t need an extraction licence under the fire & rescue services act 2004 part 5

Hi all, can anyone recommend a safe mooring or a good marina in the Wigan area please? I’m cruising from Liverpool to Anderton in June and I’m getting a train to Edinburgh from Wigan to attend a 40th Falklands remembrance parade and ship reunion so I’d like to leave the boat somewhere safe for about 4 days. I’ve already called Crooke marina and they don’t have space. Thanks

my (new to me) 3LW doesn't seem to have a a bleed screw on the thermostat housing? how do you bleed the skin tank? the header tank is higher than the engine though so one is ok 😆 also approx how many litres is in the cooling system on a 3LW?
