will take me time to read it properly but what i have read so far sounds reasonable.

great pictures.although not in there element it is always interesting to see the parts of the hull normally submerged.

shame that just a little bit of give and take could have prevented all the fines etc

yes great photos Roaring Meg i seem to remember is a good pint.

Do they look good together now you can see them side by side.It sounded like an epic journey that both boats had reading your blog and the post on waterlily's blog.Well done all

When we visited our relations in Canarvon the children that had not gone yet to secondary school could only speak welsh.i do remember. My grandad looking askance at a group of teenager talking to each other in an incomprehensible language [ To us ]is that welsh i asked. No it's pigeon welsh not worth speaking. Being born in Hong Kong i favor the chines Dog faced Dragon which is the symbol of of my birth year.

sound interesting shall view avidly.

My Grandad was issued with one of them when he was on fire watch during the 2nd world war.

Signed it also with a bit of luck the directors will resign in protest.LOL

just starting

There was a report of it's visit on Midlands Today at lunchtime so it may be repeated this evening.

SO though unlikely to happen it would be possible to have a canal boat that could be lifted off the canal and onto a flatbed,similar to a container for onward shipment.It does seem like a very good attempt to compete with other forms of traffic and yet it did not work.

Did they have nobody on the them besides the tug in case things went wrong.I am thinking of the joeys on the bcn when towed in line had a steerer on the last on.Probably a silly question.

That bit on fundraising on your site is interesting.Having seen how much money the people raising the funds get there is likely to be precious little left to give to BW.

The model of this boat is very good.

Could it be raised ? The other attempts failed according to my reading of the forum,and will it have to be lifted moved and licensed asap or can any of that wait a week or so. You said on one occasion that it was a rare boat with a triple keel which presumably makes it stronger and worth saving for it's rarity value.

You also have to keep some very expensive admin staff in the luxury they have become accustomed to. . Sorry easy target,they are the main reason everything is more expensive in the uk.

That was my first guess.

It is also on the butty section on Apollo duck. Originally priced at £15000 taken off for a while then put on again at the reduced price.

I agree but who has the power to put that point of view to them ?

could the regulation refer to cabin length rather than hull length?

I believe in the center of Birmingham you can be fined for either thing.We also seem to have a problem with chewing gum coating most of our streets. A hearty thanks to the person who invented shoes, Boots,etc

Good luck with you new enterprise

Anyone that tries to improve the lot of others is always to be commended.No matter the ideal when you are faced with the reality of the situation it is better to settle for the best you can get than go off in a huff and get nothing at all.the Lichfield Hatherton canal is having to deal as best they can with all sorts of difficulties and i am sure they will archive the best fit between the dream and reality of the situation [unfortunately i have not as yet volunteered for this restoration just read the web site].This is the best they can do today, tomorrow a rich person may donate the money to get closer to the dream well done to the people involved in this restoration.
