Anyone got a link to this mysterious Ian? I've searched Apoloduck and found nothing, I'm curious

Oops, didn't expect this thread to get this many replies Made an interesting read!

I thought as much... after all, our old Reliant Robin was fiberglass and that seemed to survive anything...

So for a while now I've been looking at boats, I've recently took a liking to small Shetland cruisers, but I've read so much about Steal boats crushing 'plastic' cruisers, just out of interest, has it ever, or how often does it happened? Adam

Forgive me for making presumptions, but, have you been doing something you shouldn't?

Well done, good luck! I'm only 20 myself, but I'm seriously looking for one... need to do a bit move overtime first though Adam

Same here, always willing to lend a hand!

I'll be there Saturday, I just wish I had a boat to take

I'm heading there tomorrow, hopefully it'll be a bit dryer than today!

I live almost on top of Fazeley Junction, I'd say anywhere as far as Curdworth is pretty safe to moor...

Our Voyager trains have this fitted, not sure what type, but it doesn't block out much light at all... 221 134 at Tamworth by NX4737, on Flickr

Went out to see it in Hopwas this afternoon, got some photo's, after getting drenched, despite spending 10 minutes hiding out under Hopwas Woods bridge! Narrowboat President by NX4737, on Flickr Keeping a watchful eye... by NX4737, on Flickr Adam

Looking forward to progress on this one!

Oops, nearly forgot about this one!

Enjoyed a bike ride down the Coventry Canal earlier, Hopwas to Alvecote Proiry... Lovely day for it, sometimes I really do enjoy working nights!

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated!

Took a cycle up to Drayton Boat Services on the Birmingham and Fazeley this morning and then on to the swing bridge, just thought I'd share a couple of photos, hope you enjoy!

Feel free to move if I've posted this in the wrong place! Adam

Change happens, deal with it... It may fly over a couple of canals, but the way I see it, there's plenty of other beuty spots to enjoy, it's a shame, but that's just the way it is. Adam

Thanks for that, I guessed Stoke Bruerne may have been slightly ambitious! Looks to be either Braunston or Hopwas then, either are nice! Adam.

Morning all, just managed to get the week off work (I mean just, only just found out... gotta love working nights.) in March, so I'm hiring a boat from Ashby, Monday - Friday... Just wondering what cruising suggestions you had? I'm thinking Ashby to Hopwas and return, or at a push Ashby to Stoke Bruerne and return, I'm not affraid of long days cruising, infact I enjoy it! Hoping to move onto a boat in a couple of years when I'm in a position to make the move, so I'm trying to get a good feel for the canals as possible, thanks in advance... Adam Edit: I'm aware of Canalplan, so have put that to some use looking at different routes.

Reading this made my brain hurt

Can't say I have either.

That's pure genius, I want one! Anyone got any more photo's of it? Thanks :-)

Any photo's of Susie's interior? She looks an interesting little boat!

Switched from Orange (I'm never going to even consider using them again) to 3 mobile broadband two months ago, no regrets so far!
