  1. If it's going in the water (rather than hardstanding) then you will need to get it to West Stockwith and use the slipway there. Wilf runs it and is usually very helpful. PM me if you need his details.
  2. As has been raised above if it's permanent then they are few and far between that have availability. It might be worth trying Retford Mariners in the Town Centre. There are moorings at Retford & Worksop Boat Club in Clayworth but there is a waiting list for permanent moorings. There are however usually visitor spaces at this time of year.
  3. £32 Calor 13kg Propane Delivered. A few weeks ago that was £28.
  4. You could join the Chesterfield Canal Trust and then volunteer on one of their boats. They welcome new volunteers and it's a good way to get experience of how different boats handle etc.
  5. I'm tempted to suggest Grimsby.
  6. Just one thing to be aware of is that the LPG from the pumps in Europe (Particularly Spain apparently) can cause issues with the jets on Gas Fridges. That said you may not be going to Europe or having a Gas Fridge!
  7. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  8. If a mains supply is available i'd be tempted to put a small tube heater in the engine bay on a low temperature just to keep the damp out.
  9. I managed to get these today. Apologies for the reflection on the Photo’s.
  10. If can't be certain if it's the same Nelson but this may be of interest if it is https://rwbc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Operation-Nelson.pdf In short it ended up being owned/used by the Retford and Worksop Boat Club at Clayworth.
  11. A few years ago I was shouted at by a resident of a new housing estate which is next to the Canal as she didn't like all the boats going past her Garden...........
  12. I wonder if it's a "real" location or CGI and if real where it is. I suspect it's probably a match of the two with the lights etc. added in.

    It depends where in Babworth woods you've looked. There is a section that at present would normally have an abundance of Chestnuts although i've not been down for a few months.
  14. Paul Barber builds some excellent boats and his skills are well known. If you are on Facebook he can be found here https://www.facebook.com/PjBarberBoatbuilderLtd/
  15. You can head up to the Norwood Tunnel which is around 32 miles and if you then want to you can walk over the top and head towards the restoration. There are no other waterways to turn off although hopefully that will change in the future.
