We Have just bought fuel (84ppl) on the 24/08/11 from Bletchley at All Oaks wood on the North Oxford. He was heading for the south Oxford with a delivery of coal.

We have seen a very mixed picture this year! Also talking to a few people at hire bases I think that more boats are going out on short breaks rather than full weeks or longer.
-
Thanks Allan!! We came up the Avon two weeks ago and stood looking from the Recreation ground moorings back at that point just thinking about the moment we got the telephone call from Phil Capp!! But Oasis Too is still going strong have seen her about three times this year, and no I am not concerned about too much water, More too little. We draught 29 inches and a few bits of the macc are slow going at the best of times!

Our current late summer plan has us heading for the Macc / Upper Peak Forest. Would be grateful for an update on the current situation! Thanks in advance.

US2200 6V 236Ah US batteries. Someone on the forum posted about them not long ago!
-
We have just replaced our domestic batteries with four 6v semi traction batteries at a cost of £470.00 Inc Vat, from Warwick Batteries who are just opposite the Saltisford Arm. They brought the new batteries across to the access gate to the mooring carried them to the boat and collected the old batteries. All in all first class service and price. (Nb I have no connection with the company just a very satisfied customer)

Hi We are currently at Gailey lock waiting for a replacement Domestic alternator (failed after 4000 hours). I want to take the chance to fit my smart bank but need a length of battery cable with terminations fitted. JD Boat services at Gailey may be able to supply but are a bit vague about it! Is their anyone near who could supply and deliver if they cannot.

should be there about 10 days or so from now!!

We draw 29 inches or so and have had no problems right to the basin
-
No we are loving it! The view outside the boat window is a winter wonderland dealing, with this kind of weather is about preparation and organisation.

Web Site 'Songs of the inland waterways' is another good source of info!
