The drain valve on the calorifier on Mintball is a bit troublesome - tank has been in for about 30 years and I suspect it got left open for a bit and furred up.

They are inoperable in Cheltenham after about 5 years - water is too hard.

I'm still trying to work out how you got an auth token for an ancient account which was for the new login / authentication process

Its all very odd - it looks like when it was recovered it was just left moored up - not secured or anything. I suspect minimal insurance but I'd be pleased to be proved wrong.

There must be something sitting between you and our server which is trashing the urls. We don't do any rewriting at the domain level as the site supports multiple different domains - so if you start on canalplan.org.uk then you stay on it. No-one else seems to be reporting problems to us either through here or Facebook or Twitter and we've had 41 PDF routes generated today. If you can send me your IP address via Private message I'll dig into the server logs and bug reports to see if I can see anything obvious. I did notice something very odd - that authentication token is for user 23 Users of 90 and below were only used for Beta testing and were discarded. Current users IDs are in the mid 2550s Auth tokens like that are send in the User account confirmation email and are a one use token which is never used again once we've confirmed that the account request is genuine. After that you login on the front page using user ID or Social App auth. Logins are not needed to plan routes, download PDFs etc - they are only needed for things like submitting data updates or photos. or saving planned routes so you can reload them, or reporting bugs or using the simple forum system.

Canalplan is at https://canalplan.uk/ and looks like this Don't use FB to login as we are removing it in a couple of weeks because we cannot comply with FB's latest requirements to use FB login (You have to be a registered business).

On the BBC yesterday I learned that some of these "Travellers" can do up to 30 miles a year......

Whole of the Severn is now back on red and closed - its only a few feet off the quayside in Gloucester.

paint it black.......

Its all still very wet round here - and things are still looking borderline on the CRT Water level page.

Leek isn't a bad place either - short hike from the canal but some good pubs, and you have to go through the other mad tunnel on the canal to get to it

Mobile coverage in and around Market Drayton is very patchy.
