Where to moor along the Bridgewater canal
rgreg replied to narrowboatmike's topic in General Boating
I disagree. Why put the agreement ar risk for the sake of a simple, free online booking? -
Very true. This was exactly the case once when we went through; we ended up giving a training session to hirers who were working out what to do from both directions and helped them through.

I'm chuckling to myself as I remember the time I was in the queue and assisting passage when the lockkeeper went for his lunch. For some reason everyone then looked to me for direction to which I felt duty-bound! Tempers were beginning to fray a little and I was pleased when it was my turn to go so I could relinquish the responsibility!

Engine Coolant Hoses - Lifespan?

Precisely this. I've just changed a couple of mine which were fine apart from the junction with metal plumbing where they were cracking and starting to leak. -
Gargrave to Foulridge is one of the most scenic sections on the network.

I had the same concern before having my panels fitted, but ended up with some slimline ones (150w each) which left a comfortable walkway on either side.

Scruffy boats are one thing, but when the scruffiness spills onto the towpath it is unacceptable. The same scruffiness often goes hand- in-hand with breaches of the rules and antisocial behaviour. It's hardly surprising that this creates resentment from not only the general public but responsible boaters too.

I actually think the article is quite balanced, outlining the need for Government support and the the rationale for justifying this, whilst recognising the importance of boating.

To be fair, in this issue there is a very good article on the future funding of CRT: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/boating/boating-blogs-and-features/the-boaters-update/boaters-update-3-december-2021?utm_source=mailchimp&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=boating_2021

Yes, that's what I use. Tesa Moll Thermo Cover: 4m X 1.5 m covers 5 typical "bus style" windows and, importantly, the tape peels off easily without leaving a residue on the wooden frame. I have used it for years and found it very effective and unobtrusive.

If you do a good job of fitting it without creases (a bit of an art but possible with care) it can be almost invisible.
