We will be tackling our first staircase locks next week ( Foxton ) Can anyone advise me how to take them on, or where to find information on using them. Thanks

With people & pet safety in mind, can anyone tell me how long it takes a propellor to stop when knocked out of gear at normal cruising revs. Thanks.

Global warming one is brilliant satire (is that the right word)

I asked this not long ago. Got lots of replies & finished up getting a Petfloat dog jacket. Large size £27 from chandlers. Brilliant

Thanks for all the advice. We have decided on the Crewsaver Petfloat. It works, is not too bulky & seems great value at under £30. Check it out if youre looking for that sort of thing.

Hi every one. We have just got a large dog & my wife ( and me ) is worried about getting it out of the canal when it jumps in,mainly because it loves water. I've told her it will get out on its own, but will it. Can anyone recommend a harness for a large dog, preferably with a grab handle to lift it out of the canal

Does anyone have any strong opinions on the choice of Thinsulate or sprayfoam

When you think of trying to get coal to the stove either through the bedroom or down the stern steps, it must be conventional layout.

Dahon are good value but bigger wheels would have been nice

At least it saves you writing narrowboat all the time

Thanks folks. Looks like the Leeds & Liverpool for us

Hi everyone, my first posting, so be gentle with me. Does anyone have an opinion on which is the quietest waterway to be on, in the mad six weeks of the school holidays.
