It wouldn't be the end of the world if those moorings weren't reinstated, you inevitably meet boats on that bend, and the moorings on the offside hinder being able to approach the bend correctly, especially with a pair.

Congratulations on your purchase! Forum member GSer owned her about ten years ago, he hasn't been on here since 2018 but might be worth a PM? Kind regards Dan

No worries, hope it helped!!

2 pack blacking on a survey is now as common as disclaimers and the contact details of the surveyor. Whilst there is no doubt it can be a superior product if applied properly, bitumen can be fine if the correct prep work is carried out. We have seen several instances of 2 pack falling off in sheets, and also bitumen clinging on with very little corrosion to 30 year old hulls.... Arguments for both I reckon! Kind regards Dan

There was also a load of fruit trees planted as MK was built at the insistence of the planners, along the canalside poplars are various fruit trees lurking, waiting to be found!

Continuous moorers........ Those who declare not to have a home mooring but choose to ABBA cruise, point A to point B stay at point B and return to point A...... whilst some have a cruising pattern within the spirit of the licensing of boaters without a home mooring, others seem to play the system to suit their needs......

Having lived and worked there for 10 years before relocating to Langley Mill I'm still quite fond of the place.

I have quite alot of AS stock. Where are you based?

I do hope so. I'm quite fond of the place.....

Nice theatre though......

Tesco at Fenny Stratford is about a 10min walk as well. There's a small One Stop shop at Giffard Park by the pub.

Have you tried taking out the delivery valve and checking for flow, they tend to stick now and again??

I have a Puck P-24z two stroke twin cylinder diesel which can use these in one of the cylinders. They really work and I suspect handy in the colder months!

We allow 7 days at Langley Mill, and like to think we do a proper job, without cutting corners. If anything goes wrong we would not hesitate to put it right at our expense.

The Erewash basin at Langley Mill is now under a KFC and Lidl.....

Coming out of Billing to go upstream with a full length breasted pair is even more fun!!

We allow liveaboards to stay onboard at Langley Mill Boatyard at the top of the Erewash, and have a couple of gaps in the diary, if it fits in with your schedule. Give us a call or drop a message for current availability. Kind regards Dan www.langleymillboatyard.co.uk 01773 760758

I think the one in Lymm has been found.

You could always confuse people and paint the fore end as a butty cabin but reversed!!

Hi Sara Here you go Page 319 onwards Kind regards Dan

Hi Sara, It sounds like you have cracked on a bit with her! If I recall a few of us gave a load of info about her last June on another thread? With regards her livery, look up grand union canal carrying company liveries, there's a couple to choose from, and also under British Waterways as well. Kind regards Dan

The number of builders who can build a hull, which looks right, and has the correct underwater shape to swim through the water, is slowly dwindling. Brinklow Boats are still very much top of the list.

We've offered an engraved plaque out of a piece of reclaimed wooden boat planking to the winners specification.
