Alton is now on Google Latitude, as Brian McGuigan & our gmail address is nbalton102. So if anyone wants to follow our progress on their, feel free.

 

Today we've had a busy day on the Wharf at Oakgrove reloading Alton with coal, diesel etc. In the morning we're heading back up thru Macc, Bollington, Poynton & to Marle. On Sunday we wind & head back down the Macc & if time down Bosley Lock. Monday were through Kidsgrove to Church Lawton. Tuesday we head down the rest of the Cheshire Locks to Middlewich & onto the Middlewich Branch. On Wednesday we're heading to Nantwich before winding & heading north on the Shroppie towards Chester. Thursday we're delivering at Elesmere Port. Followed by a long day Friday heading back towards Anderton. Over the weekend we're attending the Acton Bridge Steam Rally at the Leigh Arms on the River Weaver. The above plan is subject to change depending on traffic etc, let's hope it's a nice autumnal week.

Refueled in August 2005 at Little Venice from a coal boat called ''Mountbatten'' engine Armstrong Siddeley with Butty boat in tow.Run by a very nice couple.Saw them at Cowroast a short time after heading north.Also from a coalboat called Argo at Waltham Abbey in 1993 i think,how about that one.Are these boats still operating ? bizzard.

Mountbatten & Jellicoe are still (at the moment) owned by Ivor & Mel but are currently up for sale, they've now retired and moved onto a single motor so the pair are up for sale and advertised on Apolloduck.

Thanks Liam,just wondered. bizzard.

Mountbatton & Jelicoe have been based near Barbridge Junction for the past couple of years, but neither of them was there tonight when we passed through. I don't know if they've been sold or are just out for a run.

 

We passed FMC Dove near Barbridge & are now tied up at Nantwich near Buckden & Saturn. Now in the Black Lion having a decent pint of Weetwoods Cheshire Cat & listening to some great live acoustic music. Tomorrow we're off early to Ellesmere Port.

 

Martin, M.t Major is James, who works with Tom. Your number is correct, James has inserted an extra 7 by mistake.

 

Have a good run James.

I'll be on the Bridgewater tomorrow looking for deisel, will any fuel boat (Liam?) be about. I'm setting off from Middleaich heading for Manchester, so I'll be moving quite late as I get towards Manchester.

Hi Dr. Bradley,

 

I'm out delivering on the Bridgewater this weekend, I think you already have my number, if not you can pick it up from the website (link in my signature). Just give me a call and we can arrange to meet up somewhere.
