Evening all,
if anyone is around the Giffard Park area in Milton Keynes, the police have closed the towpath, red route on the offside, and i can only assume navigation aswell between the Giffard Park pub, and the next bridge southbound.
I hope not, but wonder if it is related to this:
Guess we'll find out in a few days.

Must be a franchise of the boat wash that was in an April edition of Waterways World a few years ago!

From a leading lady a few years ago. : "can you speak to electrics as the blackouts are too dark.

I agree, we are with direct line £40 for 4 cats / month. We got our cats as rescue kittens. when they went to be neutered and spayed, two of them came back and showed signs of illness. after a day or so, we realised they weren't recovering, and took them to the vets. after some tests they were diagnosed with acute kidney failure, due to the combination of drugs they had.I had to rush them to the Royal Vet College hospital's Intensive care unit near South Mimms, with a 90 - 95% chance they wouldn't make it.
Thank god they survived, and are now fighting fit terrorising the neighbourhood again, but i would have been left with a £3500 bill which i didnt have at the time. So as much as i can see why people wouldn't want to pay for it, my personal thoughts are do it, you never know what is going to happen, and how severe it may be.
I hope you get it sorted!
Kind Regards

Yes it must be becoming a burden to them, now they are based abroad.
If I was looking for something "unsuitable", I'd be tempted by Orion.
I keep looking at Orion and thinking she'd make a great shortened butty for judith ann, with a bit of a rebuild at the back! Unfortunately, even at that price it's out of my budget!

Indeed!
Mind you, I'm wondering what this wooden hulled Harland and Wolff GUCCCo boat is ?

I believe it to be Orion,

Having family in the area I can totally recommend the canal du midi around Carcassonne, a beautiful part of the world.

Not sure which pic you mean, but could it be the Haydes being deconverted?
It's the 4th picture on post #2, viewing off an iPhone so I can't see much detail. Sorry for the vagueness!

On the Siskin build blog, on page one there is a photo with a working being converted to the right of Siskin. Not sure which one but it must be pretty recent.

Themis is a recent deconversion, having been converted twice in her past. First was in the 1950s as a BWB trip boat (Water Kelpie), then as a private cruiser/home.
As a past owner, I feel it's a real shame that she's been added to the massed ranks of highly-restored ex-working boats when she had a real period history of her own. I'm not sure why the present/recent owner decided to deconvert and then sell on so quickly. I believe he posts here occcasionally so may be able to offer enlightenment, I know there is the opposing view that 'the more the merrier' in terms of shiny ex-working boats.

Hi Tim,
It helps if I had added deconverted into my post!!!!! Thanks for making it make more sense!!!

Hi Joseph there have been many, the one I know of is GUCCco small woolwich butty Meteorwhich was converted, rather badly in 2004, then deconverted a couple of years ago, there is a thread in the ether of history and heritage regarding her. The other one is possibly Themis? Sure more will be along shortly.

Highlight for me has to be the birth of my daughter. Nothing else comes close!
Seasons greetings to one and all,

Can I add Milton Keynes? Often derided, it has a great array of restaurants, bars, pubs, theatre, red light district, all of which can be reached with a short uphill walk from the canal.
Fenny Stratford, just to the south, has a number of gay, lesbian and transgender clubs within close proximity.
Take your pick.
A great theatre!

Excellent, lets do it!
- I might tag into whatever the YWBS are doing as im sure there will be an entry.
- However failing that, and time/boat dependent, whats the bonus for a steamboat?
Daniel
Work dependant, if you need an extra pair of hands, I could be available!
Edit for numpty fingers!!

I wonder if Steve Hudson modeled his Josher bow design on Hazel? Certainly looks familiar.
The Bow has been rebuilt by john woolley since that flyer and IIRC it lost a fair amount of its sweep, a good job though however, but not a true representation.

There is a parrot on a boat at the entrance to Braunston Marina. It's been there a few years.

I thought Alan Herd didn't have anything to do with "Dover" anymore............!

I agree with Carl, ice boards or planks are the way to go in this situation, it's all about dynamic risk assesment, and, like most things in life being proactive about the situation rather than being reactive, especially where wooden or fibreglass boats are concerned. There is also the possibility that movement of the boat due to occupation can scratch the blacking off which could be mis-construed as a moving boats' fault, and then the unfortunate moving boat is in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Perusing the duck, I see the price has dropped to 20 grand, so it's heading the right way! Give it 12 months I might be able to afford her!!!!
