  1. Leek isn't a bad place either - short hike from the canal but some good pubs, and you have to go through the other mad tunnel on the canal to get to it
  2. Mobile coverage in and around Market Drayton is very patchy.
  3. Progressive Web App - actually looking at the Camra Site it isn't a PWA. A PWA is a website that you can basically install on a phone - it's coded to use databases in the browser so it can store working data. The Canalplan Tracking app (application stalled at the moment) is a PWA and that stores chunks of maps, locattion details, tracking details and then syncs with the main site when it was a data connection, So for the CAMRA site if it was a PWA then you could search "Worcester" and it would get all the details and store them on the phone, and if you then re-opened the app it would already have all the data stored.
  4. Mintball has spiders everywhere - there has been a "Boris" living by the horn housing since she was built.
  5. What vibration? Mintball's BMC 1.5 leg's are bolted to large wooden bearers which are bolted to a metal frame. We have a spider in the prop coupling and we've never had any real problems.
  6. When you jump it and the light goes off does the Rev Counter start working?
  7. So if you jump it then the alternator excites and the no charge light goes off but it doesn't go off if you start the engine without jumping? As Tony says does the no charge light go off if you increase the revs?
  8. Last visited 1 hour ago but didn't reply to Tony's post
  9. Glad you got it all done - it's never easy doing a server upgrade. Luckily when I was upgrading the Canalplan Server I was able to practice the build before we got the new server and once I've built it I kept syncing things up and actually kept both servers in sync for a few days before and after doing the final cut over.
  10. They miscaptioned their photo of the top lock of the Rufford Branch
  11. Last time we went in there it was cold and the food selection was poor (but the food was ok). Then it just seemed to close and now its just sitting there rotting. For a while there were a lot of aluminium beer kegs just lying around. Given the number of boats on the canal and how busy the other canalside pubs with lots of moorings are (Poachers Pocket etc) you would have thought someone would have taken it on and made it a going concern
  12. From talking to them a couple of years ago a lot of their custom isn't from the canal
  13. We were in there last June - beer was good and they happily swapped out a pint which was a bit on the edge (it was towards the bottom of the barrel). Food was basic pub food but good. Have never had a problem there not even back in September 2020 It just seems to be sitting there derelict which is odd
  14. Somewhere in the US - neither of those. Not all the locks on the canal are like this.
  15. Are you going to make any of this data available as a download so other people / applications can use it?
  16. They claim they sold out 2 days early and announced a winner on their FB page.
  17. No I meant it should use the geolocation facility of the browser to centre the map on your current location and then zoom in For example - the map server that we use for canalplan https://maps.tty.org.uk/index.html#7.9/52.908/-2.47 has a little icon under the zoom icons which centres the map on your current location (if you give the browser permission) and zooms in
  18. Indeed - we were moored at Braunston a good long time ago and the rain was so heavy that the entire marina went up by several inches and water was starting to top the puddle banks.
  19. That's great thanks - Nick and I were pretty sure that we could fit either a hat or a more complete box so it's good to hear that someone has actually done it.
  20. We're looking at replacing our old Alde Optimus with a diesel heater. As these are rather noisy we'd like to put it in the engine bay (there is plenty of space between the front of the engine and the bulkead). But being a cruiser stern there can be a bit of leakage round the removable centre deck board which could lead to water getting onto the unit. Does anyone see any problem in us putting the unit in an open fronted metal box so that any water would drip onto the metal box rather than the unit? If anyone with a cruiser stern has put a burner in the engine well I'd be interested to hear how you get round the problem.
  21. From right at the end - the bottom of the plate seems to be clear of the water and it really does look like its coming from behind it. I guess it could have sprung due to the hull flexing.
