Whitewater

I suppose one day, by some miracle somebody might actually understand how the Thames is run and how the river reacts to rising water levels. Alas not yet

I hope the camera was broken when it came to me, I don't want to inflict that pic on anyone. It was a good night, what I remember.

Will pass it on thanks

A friend of mine has a morso squirel fire. It has developed an oddity, the main door keeps opening for no apparent reason. The fire was resited and the old screw holes used. This have been taken out, so the fire is not secure. Any suggestions of a cause or cure

Two important questions you need to ask. What do you want to use the boat for, living on or CC. Also where are you going to keep it. If you are based on the canal system. a wide beam is better as they don't have a deep draft on them, unlike DB which can draw 3ft. Also you have to consider bridge height. Most DB have a wheel house which can restrict you on the canal system. If you are going to be based on a river, go for a DB as they offer good all round value for money and you have no restrictions like you do on the canals

Did BSP start it all like most things it was all talk/waffle

no not really, not much different from any other site

Ta I shall investigate further.

I need some help. I am trying to get a plan (included dimensions if possible) of a traditional boatmans cabin, it would be for a 7ft6" as that is all the space I have. Can anyone help please S

Over half the River Thames weirs are fully drawn, even the Jubilee river( Maidenhead relief channel) has been drawn. Prob an average speed of 4-5 mph which will increase around bridges and other manmade objects in the River. Suggestion, stay off the river, if your already on it, find a safe haven and stay put, here endeth the lecture.

The cartoon is a little close to the mark in more ways than one. Last time I went clubbing was the age of Techno, I tried alcohol that time, except it always a shock in the morning.

Will do

I got a diagram from the National Waterwys Museum of a Josher backcabin, it gives dimensions and also indications of what type of wood to use. It cost me a fiver but that was some time ago. Of course depending on how much space you have you can always ask for different type of boat.

That may be true.

If you find out let me know so I can hang around with them as well.

Gas mains bridge between the River Thames and Blakes lock on the River Kennet will have a reduction in height to all navigaton throughout the period whilst essential maintenance work is caaried out by the owners. The height shoud not be less than 3 meters at any time.
