Thanks for all the responses - I've got back to you all, I think, now...a great response from here, direct to the website and from uk.rec.waterways. I'll be posting details of an initial meet-up, so please make sure you've created an acount and have entered your email addresses correctly to the site, so that I can send out a mail with details, from all those who have registered. Trips are announced on the site and bookings taken from the 'Trips' section ... see FAQs for instructions. I don't spend my life on t'internet so it may take me a couple of days to repond to emails . but please use the 'contact' section of the site to get hold of me as I don't get to this group that often.

Having just returned from a 7 week jaunt around the South Warwickshire ring and back to Cambridge I've come to the conclusion that single-handing a 70 footer has become harder over the last few years...mainly due to the effects of anno domini on back and knees. Does anyone on this group fancy the idea of crewing on a few (usually short 3 days, sometimes longer - 2 weeks) trips between Bedford, Cambridge, Ely and Peterborough ? Journeyman is a comfortable 70' narrowboat with a 1929 Lister JP3. Crew share expenses (Food and Drink) and will need to bring a their own wet-gear, sleeping bag and a pillow. Visit www.pmopro.co.uk/journeyman for more details of the boat, to arrange a day-cruise 'taster' and meet the other blokes that crew from time to time.

It must be time to buy a new toy...with winter coming it could be an air blower central heating unit. It's to fit a 70' trad nb (Journeyman) (http://home.btconnect.com/nickalex/journeyman/) I figured I'd mount it ib the Engine room with closeable outlets in the 1) the cabin 2) the head and 3) the saloon....probably about a 35ft run. Which is best Webasto or Eberspacher ? Any pitfalls ? TIA Nick Alex
