Many of these tractors were made by Wickham of Ware. Theres one on the London Canal Muaeum near St Pancras . There were several threads about this a few years ago.

I was amused at the warning "contains some nudity". Bloke had his shirt off on what appears to be a cold day. Grant me the serenity ................ as the Philosopher O'Connor said.

At least this green hydrogen will produce similar amounts of green oxygen which should be good for us. Though I'm not sure how much of a greenhouse gas oxygen is ????

Glad you enjoyed it overall. Some boats will reverse well. Some insist on going backwards at 45 degrees. Its down to the underwater design at the back and is just a feature of that boat. The longer the boat the straighter it will reverse. Some say the faster the better but you need big conjones to do that in tight spaces.

What Bengo says ..... And the Aylesbury facilities also include a drydock where the boat goes on a trolley underwater and is hauled out into the building. There are showers and a small kitchen too. Oh and there are several pubs nearby too.

M 25 flyover at Kings Langley ?

Where does green hydrogen come from ?

I'd suggest that boat name is "Cardigan".

3am the perfect time for meteor spotting if only the sky wss clear.

I believe there was a thread recently where she explained how "Boatwomans Bonnets" are made.

I did see a trad style boat with a lovely Ruston Hornsby engine with the fan and rad mounted above the engine. The exhaust made a great noise.

I've been watching Harry's farm on YouTube recently for a more informed view on the impact of the end of diesel usage in industry. Electric powered fork lifts and diggers will not be viable he reckons. He favours hydrogen power.

pictures in your last post no worky for me Peter.......... Thanks working now 👍

Dawn at the Cape. of Good Hope today. And the cafe at the top of Hatton 3 hours later. They very kindly wrapped the bacon sarnies as a take away.

An interior shot of the Greyhound. Very welcome on a wet afternoon a few weeks ago.

As we're heading towards Halloween, this snippet appears in the "Canal Ghosts" thread on this forum. Rough synopsis - two blokes take old boat with knackered engine through Ghosty Hill tunnel, it stalls they leg the rest of the way. One bloke goes for a nosey around derelict industry whilst other fixes engine. Its nearly dark and the bloke who stayed with the boat is getting a bit cheesed by the time his mate turns up, especially as his mate just drops into the hold without a word. On the return trip engine fails again, seething and without saying a word, our bloke goes to leg and his "mate" joins him, but the mate legs like a professional at one heck of a speed and smells like he's been eating rat kebab and drinking battery acid. Get to far end, cry from the towpath of " do you normally abandon your crew" and the legger has vanished... His real mate had seen the boat go back into the tunnel and had had to walk over the hill.

More boats on the move ? Or naughty people putting red in road vehicles ?
