One for the small claims court then as you have a witness .

Anyone ever made a claim against another boater? Last year I stopped to help pull an historic boat out of silt and the completely inexperienced owner once clear managed to put a 5 m scrape down the side of my boat 1/2 meter anove my gunwalls with his high bow missing my windows fortunately . I don't mind the odd scrape but this could have taken out my windows. He refused to give insurance details. I got his CRT number but they ( CRT ) refused to release his insurance details to my insurer siting data protection.

Newton Crumb are worth recommending too.

Developed by a lovely couple of vloggers who have passed it on, however it appears to be permanently out of stock. Shame. Anyone noticed lock gates are wrong way round on box ?

A few cryptic clues here , think Eton Mess will be any better lads ?

And the Barbridge inn has closed, looking for someone to take on the lease but costs are eye watering. It will be houses in couple of years with lovely garden moorings I reckon

😂🤣🤣😂. Err. Not exactly.......what a load of b****cks

Correct...now edited 🤭

Current boat was Oakums Bickerstaffe built their first boat. Yes I too was amazed at the short lead in time. The latter company now owned by Eton Mess.

SU stopped due to above incident . CRT update tomorrow. Looking at picture and comments on FB, it appears it got stuck on cill. All crew safe.

Yes. I think it was completed Tuesday morning, a day early

Llangollen eistdefodd tonight features Sir Tom Jones, however organisers have closed the towpath unbeknown to CRT , presumably to stop people listening for free . As tickets are £210 a head can you blame them , and there are quite a few unsold Who is in charge of towpaths CRT or local councils ?

Just rang CRT not expecting an answer on a Sunday but confirmed, winding hole is also out of action. So it's a day in Nantwich, there are worse places to spend a day I guess. A couple of hire boats went down last night not aware of closure.

Currently in Nantwich and thinking of last minute cruise down to secret bunker at Hack Green. Is the winding hole useable ? I would have thought so but now looking at CRT diagram the red line extends beyond the winding hole to the North and beyond lock 1 to the south. It's a long way to reverse back to Nantwich .

Perhaps the lady at CRT office I spoke to earlier needs a re training session. Am currently on 48 hrs mooring on Llangollen, ( poachers pocket ph ) plan is to go home a few days and resume cruise up to Llan. When asking for 7 day one having got my boat name she replied there were none on this stretch that I could use.

So as I have a home marina, I cannot moor on a 14 day mooring?

Back on line again and yes plumbing is a mess. Anyhow hot water aplenty now it was just airlock but that electric cable has had its blue sheath cut too short. Potentially it could burn out against hot pipework. Am having this rectified. Apologies for jumping into someone elses thread but thought it was relevant. Yes Eton Mess boats are C**p and would not reccomend to anyone.

Its a good point. There is an immersion heater wired and i will check next time am there if it is within sheathing en route to the consumer board. Originally it was switched via the rcd on consumer board until i demanded a separate switch / timer. Such is the standard of an Eton Mess boat

Eton mess anyone ?

There are 3 like this. One had glycol in the others water. I assumed they were for expansion as there is no expansion vessel

Its fixed !!! Many thanks to all who contributed. Bled off screws on 3 expansion pipes ( hot cold and C heater ) and screwed / unscrewed 2 gate valves alongside calorifier. Guess they must have stuck or grit in them having run out of water. Run engine and central heating and all working Thanks again.

Same here Tony. Home now will re visit another time. Was going to run the engine to charge batteries but guess this may harm calorifier if indeed it is starved of water ?

Thanks Tony. Yes whirring sound. Did not drain calorifier as could not see a draw of tap. Its a no pump noise from kitchen taps which is strange. This is last on line from water tank so am thinking air lock between bathroom and rear kitchen ? When running bath sink taps water does flow from kitchen. Turn off bath sink abd water stops. Running kitchen taps on their own does not switch on pump

Thanks Jonathon. Taps off and pump goes quiet. No action from pump when any hot taps are turned on either.

Same problem here. Filled up with water after winter drain off. Pump clicking away but cold water to shower and basin only. Nothing at kitchen sink ( reverse layout ) no hot water so just keep opening taps ?
