I pay rent to the farmer and a CRT mooring fee, paid directly to CRT. I did the same at both the other farms I moored at. I've no idea if the farmer pays anything to CRT - I don't see why he should as we're all paying them for the privilege. CRT must be getting about fifty grand from our farm moorings. I understand that at some farms it's done differently and the rent you pay the farmer includes an amount to go to CRT, same as, I believe, how it works in marinas, paid by the mooring provider. That's presumably what CRT have mislaid.

I seem to recall from a fair time ago that he is part of a working party looking at HVO for marine/leisure boat use. I can't remember the sponsoring body, it might have been the IWA, the AWCC, or possibly the commercial boat operators. I suspect they have representatives from all those, and perhaps CaRT as well.

Both relationships are possible. Somewhere, there is a coding of mooring type and it will be different for each type. Obviously in this scenario the moorers paid 100% of the due amount directly to the mooring provider, who (should have) paid an amount to CRT.

Whilst I believe Uside- down I dont believe the fossil fuels companies making HVO, it's to easy to fiddle where the feedstock is coming from as I showed in a post earlier.

Have you spoken to Chris B about this? He did/ does moor there and usually knows who to talk to at Crt.

Eastwood!

Who do Farmers field moorers pay when the land owner has an agreement with CaRT for multiple boats, directly to the Landowner or to CaRT? As I’m sure @Arthur Marshall who I believe has similar type moorings indicated that he paid some money directly to CaRT in one of his posts but I may be wrong as I can’t remember to what he was replying too.

There are a number of good spots on the way to Audlem. You've got Hack Green (apparently there is a secret nuclear bunker but don't tell anyone ... ) with rings iirc on the VMs. Then there is Coole Pilate VM's again rings and this is a lovely spot, one of our faves. After that in easy walk of Audlem there is Moss Hall Aqueduct, you'll need pegs here but a truly lovely place to spend a few days, further up (approx 200 yards) there are VMs with rings but they are often full and don't have the view! There are VM's through each of the next couple of locks, they are ok, nice and safe but limited for solar and VMs above lock 24 iirc. All of these are close to the village. Can't help re car parking sorry. The Sunday lunch in the SHroppie Fly was excellent when we had it back in Januarty, advisable to book as they were very busy. Don't know if the Bridge Inn is doing food as such, never really enjoyed that pun tbh (no idea why either). The Lord Combermere has re-opened and whilst they did truly excellebnt food previously we haven't eaten in there since the re-opening. Finally yes D&G accept bus passes

My Vetus 55kg has the central nut. I found a blade missing when out for blacking, so I replaced the plastic prop with a new genuine Vetus one. Easily done by wedging the prop whilst the central nut is freed. However, neither the old pin nor the new one were shear pins. Both were solid stainless which, if yours is the same, would mean your diagnosis may need a rethink.

Good job Mary Whitehouse didn't get wind of it

We are venturing into Audlem from the Nantwich direction. We plan on mooring before the locks. Is this a good idea? Also, would like to treat ourselves to a nice Sunday Lunch. I realise there’s three pubs. Which is the best in your opinion? I know this is personal preference but a guideline does no one any harm. Also, would like to park the car for a few days. Is there a preferred place for this? Short post, plenty of questions. Thank you all. I see D&G run a bus service to Nantwich, where the car is hopefully still parked. Do they accept bus passes on their services?

I am very grateful for your continued well-informed input on the 'HVO for boats' issue here. May I politely enquire who the "we" are that you mention from time to time in your posts, please? I've not noticed you ever say (but maybe I haven't been paying attention! ) You seem to have access to a lot of resources regarding this. Are you part of, an employee of or director of a large organisation perhaps?

If the mooring owners are as nice as he says, a sensible discussion with them and a promise to pay when a solution is sorted should suffice. Or pay by the day until it is.

The hydraulic hose unions will likely be the same. The coolant hoses will be just hose clips onto the new end cap rubbers. But there will be no mounting bracket, the original was around the hose unions. But a couple of large iron pipe pipe hangers may solve that. Have a look at https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233205545798?

Surely the question is should Mark shell out another year's mooring fee, which due shortly?

@Arthur Marshall If you are referring to the Black Lion at Consall Forge then yes, sort off. Kitchen is not fully operational but Jason does a limited amount of hot food.

Sit tight and wait till it is sorted out.
