[Magic Potion]

Obstruction in lock according to CRT email alert.

They found a scrap one at Atherstone last week ....

[Kustomcut]

Obstruction in lock according to CRT email alert.

I suppose most people would class a 20ft GRP cruiser in the lock and obstruction????

That is me

[Magic Potion]

Not even remotely lawnmower shaped as far as I know ...... kippers maybe?

[junior]

ALBION now moored in Gas Street Basin awaiting arrival of crew tomorrow.

 

 

 

[RLWP]

Did you have a scary night?

 

Richard

[Kustomcut]

Ok for the next 10 mins I have updated my "pin" on the interactive map to show my start point for Sat 8m

[RLWP]

Oooh, I wouldn't start there if I were you...

 

Richard

[Nine of Hearts]

Oooh, I wouldn't start there if I were you...

 

Richard

 

Has anyone else noticed that Carpe Vinum appears to be fitted with warp drive? Is that allowed?

[junior]

Did you have a scary night?

 

Richard

Slept like a log!

 

I've been exploring down the Soho loop and Iknield Port loop this morning. Currently on a bus to Hockley Heath (I hope) to do the car shuffle.

[RLWP]

Slept like a log!

[john6767]

Just arrived in Brum, saw Albion when I can past, and now moored in front of Ref Wharf on the Main Line. I am actually getting 4G on the Three phone!!!!!

[Little Else]

Two thirds of Team Red Wharf are in the Wellington.

Yes, 4G which is no faster than 3G (according to my experience there last time)

Two thirds of Team Red Wharf are in the Wellington.

Was the other third booted out?

[Nine of Hearts]

Yes, 4G which is no faster than 3G (according to my experience there last time)

Yes, I misguidedly bought a 4G dongle for internet access when out and about. What a waste of time! The only time I get 4G, I'm in a city, which means I'm usually in someone's house with free access to wifi. Out in the country anywhere it's needed, you're lucky to get G. They saw me coming.
