You can tell the ones that have been turned over. The door handles get filed down as they slide down the road. They are the same door handles as fitted to a Rover P6.
My best man turned his Dads over and got aBoll***ing. Three months later his Dad did the same"

Our nb uses about 1 1/2 ltrs an hour - BMC 1.8 that is very elderly!
It might be elderly but it still does the business. I remember being behind you on the T&M and you just disappeared in front of us. My Beta 35 does around 9 miles to the gallon. Tyler Wilson shell with 28" draught when not moving.

It's interesting that the notice starts with the phrase "In the next couple of weeks". It's clearly not equipment failure that has brought about this change of approach.

Moor outside the pub

Can't comment onthe food in the bBridge but on Monday lunchtime they only had Wainwright Gold and Banks Bitter on. Poor show considering it will have been their best opportunity of the year to make a bob or two. Much wider choice at both the Shroppie and the Combermere.

We came across it about 15 years ago. They were running Birmingham to London that year. They had support crews who waited at strategic spots. We passed them around Buckby Locks.

Doing 10% off at Crick but not on their website

Typically the moorings are full from Overwater marina all the way up to where the flight starts to get serious (Lock 11 ish)

It is Audlem music festival this weekend. You will struggle to get food from the pubs.. It's always very busy.

We moored at Aston marina for five years and never made it in to the three crowns. Walked past it many times on our way in to Stone. The Swan, The red lion, ten green bottles and the wharf all good. If you've got the energy, the borehole and the royal exchange are excellent. All make for a short worthwhile winter cruise

There were 10 boats moored up in Lymm yesterday morning. I thought that was pretty good for a canal that is currently a dead end.
-
My hatch gets a lot of condensation during the winter months. I guess that is what is causing the delamination.
I would suggest better quality ply and plenty of varnish. The worst thing to use would be MDF. My rear door liners were partly made from mdf and swelled badly.
If you are lucky it will just be glued. There's a possibility it could be attached by screws from the outside.

Nice try but Altrincham is the nearest town and it has at least 15 gyms. I go to the cheapest one

This morning 2025
Fradley Middle Lock No 18 T&M. The descending boat, it seems, is headed for the CoventryC, according to the volunteers' sign ...
That sign causes confusion. I came down and out of that lock this morning intending to go down the Coventry. There was a Black Prince approaching from the direction of The Swan. The steerer took the sign to mean that he had to keep left. I realised he was going to keep left but didn't realise why until I looked back and saw the board.

I thought that CRT had had a change of heart regarding decommissioning moorings.
There is a reciprocal mooring agreement between awcc clubs but not for anyone and their dog.
-
People have mentioned the price of materials. There was a time when Birch Ply came by the boat load from Russia. For some reason that isn't happening any more.

The key point is here -- "I can confirm it is the intention of...". Which does sound like good news, but I have to point out that a possibly uncosted intention is not the same as a costed/funded commitment, fine words butter no parsnips etc. etc. ... 😉
At least at this point in time the door is still open. I'm more hopeful than I was in January

I guess we will see the reintroduction of stop locks to ensure CRT don't lose their water. It's already happened on the Ashby

Sensible suggestion from David but seems like no one really knows.
I was wondering if the lower height ones allow for the use of a plinth which could house the plumbing.
I shall have to talk to Leesan.
I'm not worried about dealing with blockages. It's only processed food.

We moored there for five years at the wedding venue end of the marina. It was never an issue for us. I'm sure you will get on fine with the management team. They were always very helpful and went above and beyond at times.

Wellington pub company. Not tied to any brewer. Lots of tenancies available
-
I'm exploring the idea of a macerator toilet. Looking at the Leesan site they sell standard height toilets and lower height ones. Is it simply a case of the lower height ones being meant to be positioned on a plinth/step or am I missing something?

Matty recommends one by Epiphanies. I haven't tried it yet though.
Andy Russell's supplier passed away during covid

When we were stuck there in 2019 I had plenty of time to look around. The culvert drains a marshy field on the offside. The flow is minimal. It needs a bit of pipe ans a load of puddling clay. One month max if I was doing it. I just need to source a bit of gas main to take the water under the canal
staffs and Worcs shut till further nitice

Not a stoppage but the infamous bridge at Meaford on the Trent and Mersey has had it's coping stones knocked off again. I think they lasted about 18 months this time.
