That’s great news about Al & Del, I’ve been following their adventures since they bought Derwent 6 and they suddenly stopped their blog!
-
Talking of internet bloggers does anyone know what happened to ‘Derwent 6’ Al & Del? They were old school so to speak in that they blogged rather than vloged!
-
Did he say that in his latest vlog or did he say that in the vlog about the property?
-
I can’t be bothered to watch the whole blog, does he mention where he’s going to live? I wonder if he is buying that canalside house with dock and workshops he did a vlog on a while back?

Anyone want to buy the most famous boat on the canals
Knighty replied to luggsy's topic in General Boating
Who bought the narrow boat in the end, anyone know? -
It would seem you’re not alone, a blogger had similar challenges last week apparently!
-
Thanks all for the advice, I’ll see out the latest sub and then take WW for 12 weeks and see what I think ?

Morning everyone, I received a ‘Canal Boat’ magazine subscription as a gift a little while ago and have recently renewed, I’m thinking of taking Waterways World as well but would love to know which publication people think is the best & why? ?

I was a big fan of Tim & Pru’s GCJ’s and genuinely thought the new version would be like opening a present at Christmas and it not being what you expected despite the apparent shape suggesting otherwise. well I gave it a go and have to say I throughly enjoyed it! The pair of them are wonderful and Shelia especially. Great new series which I look forward to evolving.

I think a guy called Fergus might own it, he sings the blues don’t you know....

Thanks all for the advice.

Morning everyone, due to the Hack lock closure on the Shropshire Union Im now planning a leisurely week down the S & W from Autherly next week. I think I’ve read I need a special key/windlas for a couple of the locks, is this correct? Will the hire company provide or do I need to purchase separately? Many thanks

“Hello everybody, and welcome to our vlog, you join us on a.....”

I plan to buy a boat sometime in the future, we are all different in the way we emotionally handle a purchase, however if I was in your position I’d start looking at boats in 11 months and 28 days ?
-
Let’s hope the spud who allegedly bumped the OP has a large chip on his boat....
-
He knows that, he’s being scarcastic!
-
Brilliant a lower deck lawyer too, in my humble opinion of course
-
“It can be difficult and frustrating to get stuck behind a boat doing 1 mph past moored boats etc when ones own boat does 2 mph at idle.” So frustrating that one rams the slow boat maybe, anyway sir I’d suggest you take a chill pill. You wouldn’t suggest I’m stupid to my face so why do it it behind the keyboard, are you a naughty warrior by chance?
-
Oh I see, so you don’t slow to tick over if there are only a “few” moored boats then, thank you for clearing that up @nicknorman ?
-
Nicely put , however as an experienced hirer I’d suggest the OP is dammed if does and dammed If he doesn’t. He’s probably had a week of moored boaters sticking their heads out of hatches telling the naughty hirer to slow down so when he does he’s being pressed to speed up!
-
I hired from Clifton a couple of years ago with teens so for the Fri- Monday I’d suggest Fri as far as Ansty and moor Sat As far as Hinckley and moor Sunday head back Mon head south towards Stoke B and return
-
Apologies for offending you and others, that will be the last time I use that expletive, so back on piste can you give us a clue as to where this chap is please?
-
I wonder if the current lack of rainfall will also cause problems in the Summer with low water levels?
-
Ahh, so an early Santa Cruise then....
-
Further update, my booking was put on hold and I have now rescheduled for last week in October. An Autumn cruise to look forward to, I’m assuming @mrsmelly will be along soon to tell me the hire company will have gone to the wall by then!
