  1. Hello pipistrelle, I am still 'rooted' on the lovely River Nene, and would be free to help you with our infamous Northampton Arm, depending on your schedule as I am free during the day up until 6pm when I have to go to work. My fee will be lots of cups of tea and plenty of yummy cake. You can contact me at : treepoet @Hotmail.co.uk brightest blessings

  3. That is a nice jaunt, and if you do moor in the basin or just a lickle bit further along, then its only a lickle say 10 minute walk to the centre of MH. Plus lots of interesting shops and places to grab a snack and the main supermarkets, Sainsburys, Llidl, Aldi, ectera are around the centre of town Whoops! Nearly forgot doh! Moi Spoons do woverly brekkies ( just stuffed my face with one
  4. Firstly condolences to the family and friends of the person who lost their life, I don't think that anyone goes out boating with the intention of losing their life. Sadly alcohol can confuddle people's perceptions, and at the end of the day tho is a tragic incident for all concerned. Over 20 years ago we would never go out for a jaunt on our boats, without a lifering, and now as a solo boater I have a gadget thingy that I can throw to people, as well as an automatic lifejacket similar to the ones that the bwb folk wear,to keep me safe if I ever I fell in (which I have many times over the years. I would have thought that having a lifering is an essential part of a boaters equipment, as mine only cost me just over £50, well worth I for piece of mind. I don't drink alcohol, but I have done many daft things over the years, which could have ended in tragedy, I did not think at the time how dangerous they were. Yes! We can all debate about the effectiveness/ cost/implications of having liferings along the network, but please lets not forget that a life has been lost, and a family are heartbroken.
  5. We both actually work in Market Harborough, but her boat is in a different place, and Market Harborough is the nearest town.
  6. Many many thanks ... I now have all these contact details and have sent them to my friend, so that she can contact them tomorrow. I have got him down on my list Graham but many thanks. Tony Redshaw, Justin Green Debdale Wharf Sam at Foxton Boat Services so my task is hopefully completed

Hmmm... the thing is folks, she seems to have been ' Let Down' by a few people, and when I bumped into her today she was at the end of her tether, so I told her not to worry, and I would ask the good folk on her for advice
  10. A friend of mine based in the Market Harborough area, is seeking a qualified engineer to check out her engine. Its a Dorman Stafford 3 cylinder ( 3LB ). If anyone knows of someone who can help in the area or willing to travel, then Please send me a message with a contact number, that I can pass onto my friend, and fingers crossed she can get cracking with the rest of her fit-out. many thanks and kindest regards.
