Bank Newton locks are currently closed 'until further notice' CRT say they need to make "emergency repairs", but aren't going to start until Monday! We are in Skipton, but are booked into Liverpool on 17th, it doesn't look like we'll make it. Steve

We see quite a few "Diamond Resorts" boats out of Anderton. They are a timeshare company. Steve

That's what I do. A home brew Raspberry pi device monitors the battery, solar and inside & outside temperatures every 5 mins and sends to another Rpi here at home. I can also use it to turn the Eber on and off.

We moored just opposite recently and went for a walk around the reservoir. There were 4 or 5 boats over there and we thought that next time we'd also go there. There weren't any 'no mooring' signs then. Stefe

At least some part of the Wilts & Berks is in water, but I don't know if it's navigable. Steve

I dont think you'd say that if your loved one was killed by a speeding motorist.

We carry two jerry cans of diesel on board as our tank only holds 120 litres. I checked the regs before I did and, if I remember correctly, it's OK if you use containers "specifically designed for the purpose". I.e. use a proper can, not just some random container. I believe it also has to be metal, not plastic. Steve

Thanks Tracy and Goliath Steve

Does anyone know of a safe place to leave a car for a week near Kidsgrove? We'll be coming up the T&M from Middlewich and plan to pick up our daughter and family, then on along the Macc to Bugsworth. So they need to leave their car somewhere near the junction. Thanks Steve

>>We are enjoying a leisurely trip into Liverpool - we go down the locks tomorrow Another tip. Dont go down to Liverpool Marina for a pumpout. Their machine wouldn't suck a fly off a biscuit. They could only empty about a third of our tank, but still charged us £20 Steve

I think it was just over £200 for two cushions, each about 100 × 30 cms. They are shaped to fit our locker tops, we provided a template. We went to their showroom and chose the fabric to match our paintwork. Steve

We used these people : https://www.cbscc.co.uk/caravan_and_boat/caravan_boat_furnishings_upholstery.html to make soft cushions for the locker tops on our semi-trad. Very pleased with the service and quality, but not cheap. steve

We had ours done by these people : https://www.cbscc.co.uk/caravan_and_boat/boat_furnishings_upholstery.html very pleased with the result, though not cheap. Steve

If you use blue with a macerator you will always get a smell as it kills tne 'good' bacteria. We have had our Tecma loo for over 10 years. The only stuff we put down is biological washing power occasionally. But to get to where you need to be you'll have to go through several tankfuls with no blue, which will unfortunately smell, until you have flushed out all tne blue. Steve

No, I think it's just steps, didn't see a ramp.

We went through Big Lock yesterday, there's now a temporary bridge made out of scaffolding. Steve

Andersen's are the best hire co we have come across regarding lock training of their customers. We came past on Saturday during turn round. As Brian says they have two staff one aboard and one ashore. The first lock that staff operate and the hirers observe. The second one they share the jobs and the third one the hirers work the lock and the staff observe. Steve

We have Tern Link B7s more expensive that the Uno, but you have 7 gears and proper brakes. Steve

And nearby Dundas aqueduct carries a private road serving the nearby cottage. Quite unnerving as your'e chugging across to have a Range Rover coming towards you only just fitting the available space. Steve

No, those of us who live in this part of the world definitely say AvUn. The other pronunciation only came about due to a certain door to door cosmetics company. Steve

On this evening's K&A episode the presenter rode through Bruce tunnel on the roof of the boat. So much for obeying the tunnel sign part which says about staying within the profile of the boat. Not a good example to set for less experienced boaters. Steve

Tradline at Braunston ?
