  1. The Greek (Cypriot?) place along the main street was good last year - 5 minutes from Basin End
  2. Sad days for some rural pubs . . . - Did you ask to see the cellar?
  3. We went up and down the flight in 2021 - a lot of the anti-vandal handcuff locks (pun intended) didn't work so were left open - I think I read somewhere (NarrowboatWorld?) that they have only got worse. The night navigator of the Northern cut
  4. Spot on - I wish the BBC and press published these points more - it might quell some of the hysteria. Thanks for being so informative T
  5. I agree with most of the above advice - also are you a David Hockney fan? - then Saltaire is a must.
  6. Of course if you make good time you could moor near the Anchor inn at Salterford and see the stalactites in their cellar.
  7. There is an excellent yard at Yardley Gobion - Baxters. Expensive but our paint is still like new - done in autumn 2019. Need to book far ahead. Good luc
  8. How about this - could happen if flash floods happen later in the year https://www.herefordtimes.com/news/20606753.really-narrowboat-cruising-along-hereford-street/
  9. Go Boats staff sometimes go off from the Maida Hill tunnel - causing chaos. Also heard of one suddenly turning round mid tunnel and heading back towards oncoming boat!
  10. I think you will find that as long as you show you have paid taxes due in the US to HMRC they will not doubly tax you
  11. I think the number starting 'D' is a clue that its not a frigate you were passing . . .
  12. No update on the march online Tillergraph
  13. All I can see is 2 poles and dense foliage
  14. Hi We get a lot of white smoke if we rev out LIster HA2 strongly - even after a full rebuild - any suggestions? Thanks
  15. Is anybody keeping this tracker up to date? Maybe an easier way is if fuel boats use nick atty's canal planner and they could then allow his site to track their boat evertime they login - no effort needed. PS anyone going to be any where near Nantwich/ LLangollen last week of April? Cheers!
  16. The boatyard at Wrenbury quoted me 100p any split I wanted just before Putin kicked off.
  17. Totally agree , found him totally irritating much Prefer the humility of Robbie
  18. I agree with all the advice to say more about yourself, your boat and location(s). Also, you might want to offer different periods on your boat as a friend of mine does - his friends leave and join near convenient railway stations. Takes some planning to coordinate of course. .... and you might then ask how much boating experience they have if any.
  19. Recommend the Curly Wyrley - a bit weedy but some great quiet stretches and pubs and take the old line not the new.
  20. I agree - why are you blaming CaRT for their worker parking incoorectly on private land - shouldn't you report it the landowner or their agents?
  21. Has anyone put HVO in their 50+ year old Lister?
  22. Yes, those buried in a trench under the Regents Canal towpath in London are cooled by the cut water
