Ahh, but neather of them come into it, as it clearly states, your still allowed to drink when the boat is moored. Daniel
this summer we have taken temp moorings on the middle levels and we are paying for both our temp moorings and our own permanent moorings. now what I'm wondering is would any one like to rent our permanent moorings at crick for a couple of months ?they make a good base for the east midlands. Its just an idea at the moment but if anyone is interested I will ask if our marina has any objections, and Im willing to be flexible as to rent regards Rod nb muddy waters

Nb Pilgrim, Nb Laura, Nb Margarita plus Ken and Carol the Brass Mate people, sorry can't remember the name of the boat, arrive at Stourport and keep an eye on LT. Thanks Guys. I Went to work. Wendy went home and arranged annual family get together/picnic in Sutton, Surrey on Sunday Sunday 24th June - Family Party. On return journey it was decided that the river would be OK for Monday and after phone calls to others at Stourport decide on the way back to Evesham, to go for it Monday am.

I can't leave the place for five minutes before some luney makes a mess of the patch. I have just returned fom a short break and I see the traffic flowing normally and no sign of the stoppage notice. I can only assume that BW staff were able to deal with the matter in their usual efficient manner. Regards Pet(back on watch on the Middlewich Br.)
Day 2 – Sunday 1 July 2007 Owston Ferry to Newark 07:45 – 16:35 39 Miles 9 Hours (ave 4.3 mph) 2 Locks We left Owston Ferry early in the morning to catch the tide, which never really happened. We did get a small push at first, but it soon ran out, and by Stockwith it was flowing out at quite a lick. After Torksey, which we reached in just under 4 hours, we were pushing a 2.5 mph flow, and only keeping our speed up by hiding in the slack water on the inside of bends. We had a couple of showers, one was very heavy with hale stones thrown in. I think Cromwell Lock was quite surprised when we phoned up, and he seemed quite impressed that we made it through the flood waters. The rise at Cromwell was small, as the waters were a lot higher below than above. The reason soon became apparent as we slowed to 3mph in the full force of the waters. Cromwell radioed ahead to Newark Nether, who was also quite shocked to here a boat was on the move (first one all week), but Cromwell told him we had come across the Humber – which presumably means something around here. We struggled through the strong flow, with few bends to break the flow, but as we left the weir behind the flow slowed a little. Nether called up again, wanting to know where we were. When I told him the A1 bridge, he said we were a lot further than he thought we would be! The flow out of the main river as it joined the Newark Dyke was again very strong, and slowed us to 2.6 mph, but once passed we sped up to 5.3 mph. A boat was moored above the lock, waiting to go down to Torksey – we(Continue reading)
Hi Folks, We are on the boat again, and so here is the log. I've also had a go at putting some videos on YouTube... The flood lock at Sawley: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tlToqppaNc Day1 of our holidays: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TVnIwhwhDA I'm going to put day 2 on after a couple of days when I pays me money again. Mike Day 1 – Saturday 30 June 2007 Hempholme to Owston Ferry 53.4 Miles in 7 hours 26 mins (7.17 mph average) Well, finally we've started the holiday. We were supposed to be starting on Thursday, but weather and circumstances got in the way. Dad managed to damage his car after the floods by trying to get through a puddle that was to deep, and he still had to finish some work off before being able to leave. There was no rush however, as the Trent was flooding, and the flood gates at Newark were still closed when we set off. On Wednesday we went up to the boat just to get it a bit more ready before the off, but found that the drains had over flowed at Hempholme and had flooded the shed where we were keeping wood panelling for the(Continue reading)

When I joined they required very little information about you and then suddenly I was cut off because the didn't know if I was under , I think 13. They bared my access to Yahoo and wanted a fax from my mum to America. I could not contact them because I was barred, my emails came straight back. I had to rejoin under a deferent name and the transfer things across to get back to my true identity -- --(Continue reading)
