Hi Guys

 

Thanks for all the updates, I think we have all of them done, we now have 965 locations on the mooring and marinas database, and we are still finding more

Do you have a way of flagging up the cannabis marinas?

We now have 1,000 locations on our Moorings and Marinas map, with more still to add. I am putting on as many visitor moorings as I can find while adding other data to the database.

Thanks to a PeterF on this forum, we have a list of many of the CRT pump out locations and this is being added as I manage to locate them. They are very generic with their locations, many times just a street/postcode. It is almost as if the CRT are keeping them secret?

New Islington marina in Manchester do pumpouts and diesel, as I found out recently... 😉

Langley Mill Boatyard pin is incorrect, as it is in the middle of a private mooring basin. we also provide Diesel and pump out, No gas sadly!

 

Kind regards

Hi Dan

 

Thanks, please check I have moved it to the right location, I have used your W3W location from you website for the corrections, must have missed it last time.

 

Thanks

At Alvechurch there are two 2 day VM's either side of the main road bridge. The one you have marked as Alvechurch is known to CaRT (on their on line map) as Crown Inn Moorings, is almost opposite Withybed Moorings (not Marina)

The Withybed Visitor Moorings is in the correct location - I think CaRT map is possibly wrong as they only give one, called Crown Inn with one of their location codes. The VM is definitely on the towpath side (east of the canal). I am not sure what status the single boat mooring space you have marked as Crown Inn has - it may just be for customers. I'll try to remember to check when next I go back there hopefully before the end of the year.

 

There is a 2 day mooring either side of Scarfield Hill/Station Road bridge close to Alvechurch Marina (only one marked on CaRT map but the other is very close to the marked winding hole)

 

Withybed Marina should be called Withybed Moorings (according to their website)

Hi Mike

 

Thanks do you think the VM near the winding hole is at 52.34792492037079, -1.9689764316574316

And which CaRT map are you using, what I have to to low res to pin point some things

During October we added over 300 new places to our maps, a lot of work goes into making sure we do not duplicate current locations, as many have more that one name depending on who is writing about it so it is hard process to automate.

October was made up of roughly 

1 – Art Gallery
5 – Cocktail Bars
103 –  Pubs/Bars
41 – Coffee Shops/Cafes
5 – Fast food Restaurants 
2 – Ice cream Shops
36 – Mooring Locations
3 – Workshops/Repair 
3 – Fish Restaurants
73 – Restaurants
13 – Boater Services Points
11 – Visitor Mooring Points

 

The requirement for these is that they are within easy reach of the canal/river network. During November we hope to reach a total of over 2000 locations mapped in total

[David Floyd]

We not have 2083 locations in the database, we also have a map where you can view them all, takes longer to load, but we have it, we use it to try to make sure we don't duplicate stuff.

I have just had a look on the map at the Shropshire Union just south of Chester and notice that you only have one icon for Golden Nook moorings, you need another 20 markers evenly spaced over about ½mile each side of the one you have.🤣😂🤣😂

 

 

 

ps do not take me too seriously on this one.
