Yesterday I attended the Manchester & Pennine Annual 'outburst', where the council of middle aged men , (all white and only one boater) report back to 'stakeholders'. It was interesting, I have not been to one before. Towpath cyclists were discussed and signage along the Ashton Canal. The Transhipment Shed report is going to be showcased at Whaley Bridge this weekend and I would urge as many to attend as you can. It will be interesting to see if they took any of the points boaters made. Marple Aquaduct consultation is also to be published and although 69% of respondents rejected the idea; they may be forced to go ahead as England Heritage was written to regarding the 'lack of a safety rail'. Although, not the Peak Forest,, CRT has applied for the Macclesfield Canal to have Green Flag status. Anyone travelling down, or have helped on work parties, will know what a difference the trimming of the offside vegetation has made and the plan is to do the same on the Peak Forest in October. Mostly, the day was about partnership and getting everyone working together to benefit the cut. I was glad that I was able to go and put names to faces. One thing the head of customer services said to me was, please keep telling us when things aren't right, because if we don't know, we can't fix it. So, keep tweeting, facebooking and phoning them. I think they might actually be listening

Hello folks. I'm about to replace my battery bank with three new large leisure batteries. Alpha Batteries come up a lot in internet searches and I was wondering if anybody here had experience in ordering from them? I'm deciding between 3 x 250ah Banner Energy Bulls or 3 x 225ah Xplorer AGMs. At the moment I'm leaning towards the Xplorers. Cheaper brand, but with the special offer on the AGM might work out better for the same price than the Banner. I'm a liveaboard and about to get a hefty 600W solar charging system installed.
