  1. I just looked at Gt Yarmouth and dont see any mention of the new bridge, only the Haven bridge
  2. If I was heading to the broads from the canals I would go the other way and out of the Thames, there are lots of places to hide between there and Yarmouth, you could just go in at Lowestoft. Go out of the Wash and its a long non stop run to Yarmouth unless you run up on the beach somewhere. Here is half the trip TNC On Tour 2003 Thames Estuary (tuesdaynightclub.co.uk) maybe you should read all the site to see what can be done in a standard Narrowboat
  3. OK I will spell it out, I am not aware of the latest situation with boats moored along the banks of Ducks Cut. The last time I went that way there was still room for more
  4. Its OK it wont fit through Isis Lock or Dukes Lock onto the canal. I think if he needs to stay in the Oxford area then a mooring will be required unless they doss down Ducks Cut
  5. From Facebook a boater who does a bit of extreme boating
  6. Another thought is if you could get some back to back shared ownership shares or even different boats, you would cover a bigger area. Narrowboat shares currently available (boatshare4u.co.uk) The first entry isn't built yet so you could possibly pick what you want
  7. I just knew you would post that. All this about RCD on self fit outs
  8. I have known one to get a ticket I have known one to get a ticket
  9. Unless you could form a syndicate with friends and all share it as co owners
  10. Hear endith the story of Peters new boat
  11. I wonder what one would cost as a retro fit. I did consider it a few years back when Dan was talking about them, to late for me now, I will just go with what I have. Its hard enough getting someone to do a decent job of changing the bottom cup bearing
  12. I could only find it for ceramic, Halogen and induction hobs, a glass cleaner
  13. Not mine, I did watch a chap make a nice job of his non slip roof with one on the Ashby canal one day, dangling the end down in the cut but you are trying to drag it up over 6ft. Maybe he primed it all first, I don't know.
  14. Well I have met 3 boats just this week who are going, so it may be busy. I would suggest you ring them tomorrow morning
  15. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  16. I attach mine to the boat with cord chopping the chain off at the first link sticking out
  17. A facebook posting last week The decks and roof have filth from mud ground into the rough, non-slip paint. I can scrub with a brush on a drill, but climbing up and down to fill a watering can in the cut to rinse off is a killer, and it's a very big roof. I managed to find a cordless pressure washer on Amazon with a hose that I can dangle in the cut. Difficult delivery as too big for their lockers, so had to wait til I could moor near a road for the driver to find the boat. That was one job to be done today - except the washer won't suck water, so now I have the task of an awkward return for refund.
  18. I think a photo of this thing with a screen may help before you start throwing money about.
  19. A couple of photos from Facebook taken by Brian Cockayne Brian again If you do Facebook there is a Video at (1) Brian Cockayne - Today at the landslide site, Easenhall cutting,... | Facebook
  20. Is that the voltage coming from your alternator with the engine at cruising speed
