The drain valve on the calorifier on Mintball is a bit troublesome - tank has been in for about 30 years and I suspect it got left open for a bit and furred up.

They are inoperable in Cheltenham after about 5 years - water is too hard.

I'm still trying to work out how you got an auth token for an ancient account which was for the new login / authentication process

Its all very odd - it looks like when it was recovered it was just left moored up - not secured or anything. I suspect minimal insurance but I'd be pleased to be proved wrong.

There must be something sitting between you and our server which is trashing the urls. We don't do any rewriting at the domain level as the site supports multiple different domains - so if you start on canalplan.org.uk then you stay on it. No-one else seems to be reporting problems to us either through here or Facebook or Twitter and we've had 41 PDF routes generated today. If you can send me your IP address via Private message I'll dig into the server logs and bug reports to see if I can see anything obvious. I did notice something very odd - that authentication token is for user 23 Users of 90 and below were only used for Beta testing and were discarded. Current users IDs are in the mid 2550s Auth tokens like that are send in the User account confirmation email and are a one use token which is never used again once we've confirmed that the account request is genuine. After that you login on the front page using user ID or Social App auth. Logins are not needed to plan routes, download PDFs etc - they are only needed for things like submitting data updates or photos. or saving planned routes so you can reload them, or reporting bugs or using the simple forum system.

Canalplan is at https://canalplan.uk/ and looks like this Don't use FB to login as we are removing it in a couple of weeks because we cannot comply with FB's latest requirements to use FB login (You have to be a registered business).

On the BBC yesterday I learned that some of these "Travellers" can do up to 30 miles a year......

Whole of the Severn is now back on red and closed - its only a few feet off the quayside in Gloucester.

paint it black.......

Its all still very wet round here - and things are still looking borderline on the CRT Water level page.

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

Mobile coverage in and around Market Drayton is very patchy.

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.

I think its a PWA

Mintball has spiders everywhere - there has been a "Boris" living by the horn housing since she was built.

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.

When you jump it and the light goes off does the Rev Counter start working?

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?

Last visited 1 hour ago but didn't reply to Tony's post

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.

They miscaptioned their photo of the top lock of the Rufford Branch

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
