I have often thought about at boat swap North of the Border - nothing on Canal junction at the moment - must get round to putting an offer up.

Been there - done that. Two Ladies got locked in the facilities at Keadby!!!

Castle Gardens mooring were empty when I drove past around lunch time today. Maggie

love the Volocky title only ones I have had a problem with have been at Hilmorton

Most of it was a bloody good week-end. I was happy to hand over steering to Richard Parry when it was raining on Sunday morning.

Welcome back Den.

Hi The pic is just going into Uxbridge Lock - we left there Sunday afternoon and I left the boats on Thursday afternoon at Bruanston. The boats are unloaded having just finished a coal run. They are returning to Alvecote for winter - I think they arrived either Saturday or Sunday. As to the web site I am unsure what the situation is with it. I had a very enjoyable 5 days - hard work but good fun. Maggie Yep

Thanks - x

very impressive. going to send off for my head of navigation plaque tomorrow - I don;t have a photo to send can I just say that you were with us chesire rose? the chesterfield is a wonderful canal well worth the trip. maggie

Not the canal but from the River - West Bridgford easy walk from the embankment. http://nottingham-launderettes.co.uk/content/view/15/29/ Maggie

we locked out onto the trent at 7am today - sorry we missed you. Maggie

We have loved the Chesterfield - tonight we are just past Clayworth - West Stockwith tomorrow and maybe a walk along the banks of the River Idle - we go back onto the Trent on Saturday. Will we come back --- yes we will. Its been great. Maggie

I know - sorry about that - was trying from my phone while boating - gave up and moored up and got the laptop out. I am glad its sorted. Maggie

Hi Pete I move boats for Nottingham Boats Sales and they are no longer at Castle Marina. They moved at the end of last year to 200 Meadow Lane, Nottingham. NG2 3HE. They have boats both on hard standing and on the river over 50 at the moment. I am on my hols at the moment on the Chesterfield Canal but I saw this today and rang the office. James has explained that due to customer feedback they are changing their phone system and thats why it has been harder to get hold of them. Anyone is more than welcome to call James on 077209 71385 and he apologises for the trouble you are having contacting them. They are working to get it sort asap. some background Nottingham Boat Sales were the orginal brokers at Castle Marina and have been in business for nealy 20 years. Since they moved to Meadow Lane David Mawby has started to sell narrow boats as Castle but it was Nottingham Boat Sales who were there until last year. Maggie
