I can't see the Rochdale opening up any time soon, but I don't want to be stranded at yet another crisis point, the flood siren has already been sounded this week, and it's not even October!

My original plan was to get up on the tops! The Rochdale has a fair bit of water now, though maybe not enough for lots of boating (which does not happen on the Rochdae, especially in winter). I suspect they will not re-open it till the summit (lock 35) problem is fixed which is probably still a month away. If you are worried about flooding then you could ask to be let through, there are only two or three locks that are padlocked. However you have to go almost to the summit to be clear of the flood zone, and its said to be a strange and wild place up there. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All laundry done. Been to Charity shop twice, to deposit stuff Checked all discounts on Tesco, Wondering about celotex for porthole liners? Wondering if I should go to London and sell boat for very large profit , probably not . PS I knew this would happen once I retired, and still another twenty years to go! There are blackberries outside, but small and sharp. No plums or apples. I have plums apples and pears they are delicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Riley Posted September 19, 2022 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 There are lots of Blackberries around but have to be looked for. A fine crop above lock 2 will be ready tomorrow or the day after. You've just missed a fine crop of Hazelnuts on the steps up to lock 1, by the car park. Some greedy boater has just snaffled them all😉. If you want to watch paint dry I'm just about to paint my boat, well, the last coat on starboard side. Just below lock 1. Ask the circus performer just across the cut from you in Woodcutter to do a show for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on a train, twice. Might try it again this week, a lot quicker than this boating business. Reading another book. I tried juggling once, I'm not a natural.

Tacet Posted September 19, 2022 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 Being bored and having an overstay notice seems an odd combination. The principal joys of boating are, for me, the action of moving the boat and being somewhere else. I would move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
