Midnight

Bum against the beam for me but wouldn't be happy with a vlockie insisting I did it that way.

Found them! It's silly season on the Llangollen.

I do tickover isn't that what we are supposed to do?

Llangollen basin less than half full

Stopped for water today at Ellesmere. The pressure was up to Hebden Bridge standards so exceeded 30 minutes. Is this face bovvered?

Get stuffed!

A couple of weeks ago we cruised up Perry Barr locks around the Curly into the BCLM then into the city centre and back through Netherton tunnel down to the S&W. The canals were extremely quiet even the centre was virtually empty with a choice of moorings. Weed was not much of a problem just he odd touch of reverse required.

I've considered it and yer right, I just rembered it was built the week before the RCD came along.

Maybe a pointless post, rather just an observation. When I got the router last year the aerial was just attached inside the saloon window with the 4 suckers. I was on O2 and all seemed well with good connection speeds most places. I switched this year to the 3 data sim as recommended. Results were moderate to poor until I mounted the aerial outside on the roof. Now really good connection speeds. No surprise there, but as I said just an observation.

I'm stuffed! Midnight has no paperwork at all and I still can't find a HIN number. The shell was built 22 years ago by John White and fitted out by me. I do have the wiring diagram from Loomtec and the plans for sockets, water pipes, vents etc, and lots of fit out photos, but they were produced by me. As I don't want to sell I'm not too concerned. I'm certainly not thinking of shelling out £4000 for some paperwork. Arh, but I do have a secondary anchor point should the T-stud fail.

Isn't it just common courtesy to respect the residents? Those rings outside the new (ish) houses are good moorings so why upset people and risk losing them?

I wouldn't mind paying more but I think it would just go towards the usual non-essentials.

You need to tell Damian and Mr Parry, both lightweights.

Shroppie Fly another must stop place now. Food was excellent and a good range of beers. Landlord, Black Sheep, Shropshire Gold and Ghost Ship - I had a few of those and in tip top condition.

From Damian's July Boater's Update "So, if you’ve ummed and ahhed about ‘doing’ Standedge, now’s the time – it’s never been safer!" Safety hasn't been a concern but many boaters would love to do it. Apart from the limited number of boats allowed each week, the HNC is now so unreliable you have a better chance of winning the a bingo game as you have getting across in one go. If C&RT want more boaters to use it, allow more boats and maintain the locks! #Richard Parry - No joined up thinking.
