Cheshire cat Posted March 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) Thanks, neither of those comes up on canalplanner or the cart guides. It wouldn't normally be a problem but we will have friends onboard which will definitely involve extra beer and therefore stretch the facilities. I've just noticed you are both "daan sarf". Thanks again. I'm within 20 miles so I'll have a road trip to investigate now you've pointed me in the right direction.

Cheshire cat Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I checked yesterday. Both Elsans are fully functional. There's no water in the canal at Uppermill though. Repairs to washwalls are taking place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
