Countrysides good..Trees lurk there..

Use a meter from Halford. No Your engine will be stopped. Yes No Insulation blanked over the engine if your that worried.

Take only dead trees that are standing, the woods dry and easier to cut/chop, and Ash burns fierce..

So testing a battery (with a hydro) within a few hours of being charged is a no no? Can anything be gained from such readings ?

I'm back in UK 26th Aug.. Count me in.!

Ear Plugs, you need ear plugs and eye patches...Told you so..

Alternative would be Rolls Batteries. I use 4 x6 volt to give 24v. Rolls Series 4000 S-600 6 volt. 450amps @ 20 hour rate. Been using them for over a year, no measurable change in SG, performance, etc.

Ange.. Set the "little dog" on his toes... but remember, he is an Aussie, Their all descendants of criminals.

Well.....not always.. Noise Killer Vibrasorb seems just as good (similar spec) at 2/3rds the price..

Upon reflection, no wash or disturbance, is all that's required. Go as fast as you like, without breaking the two guidelines...

Ahh your close to Blackburn roads..have fun !!!

Off Topic, but are you near Keiths boatyard (Newsoms) in L'toft? Is my old Tjalk still there Vrouwe Jacoba? C

I have a golf competition Nr Barnoldswick, second week in Sept. I'll drop in for a cuppa...

Thanks..but they are seriously expensive....

And that's why the "private hirers" are doing well. I know of three narrowboats that "hire" to selected family members and friends and friends of friends.. I also know they do not have a commercial licence.. ..

I don't really know...but what I do know is, that just before I retuned to Italy, moored opposite me on the Lancaster was ( & possible still is !!) a BW workboat, it took three "Lengthsmen" 3 days to load the boat with wooden stakes and planks. They then set off to "repair" the bank side a little further down the canal. On passing, their work boat was adrift and partially blocking the canal, the "repairs were incomplete and they had managed to repair up to a clump of weeds bypasing them and continuing thereafter.. So I guess at least three that not only are superfluous, but also (apparently) useless..

Perhaps I'm mistaken... Is that right that.. It takes you 4hrs to do the Wigan flight of 21 locks.? Really, but, Really..

You should see it from the air....Incredible.... simply wonderful..

yes it is, I did the Flight several times years ago, I guess there not getting any easier. How far up't north are you going.

Ear Plugs, you must have ear plugs..

Now, now Phylis ...My mind has painted a picture of you, so I need to see if reality is similar to fiction...

Sir Nibbles sister ??

Is THAT IT? over 300 sodding posts and no resolution????.. Damn I'm disappointed... OK... now I have to know.. When you hear a radio soap such as the Archers, your mind paints a picture of the character.. Phillys I NEED a picture.. forget the sodding bridges, I need to know what your looking like, in my mind your...............please, please I need to know..\

Your right, people can bearly hear when I pass, but if anyone try to call or talk to me from the towpath, I can't hear a damn thing for the engine noise coming from the ER.

That would work..
