  1. that marina is Black water meadow marina in Ellsmere Shrops yes id advise Anderton or black prince to do your change over.
  2. Yup looks like an Alvechurch boat. Would really like to no weather there was a lock keeper on duty or not though
  3. You do have a fair point. Most of the bigger hire companies have got so many boats being turned around they dont have the time to show them how to work locks etc. ESP with the Llangollen if you hire from Anglowelsh at Trevor or black prince at Chirk abc at Ellsmere there are no near locks for them to take the hirers through. So when theses hirers get to the locks they just use it as they think. Which is wot I done when we first hired from Ellsmere back in 2007 but I'd watch videos on YouTube & online advice so knew the dangers and briefly how to work them
  4. It's getting worse. It's only up the road from me.
  5. as I often pass through Preston brook & dutton stop lock I often think is there any point to that lock actually being there?
  6. Not Again.... So sad to hear of all these cillings. Anyone no wot boat it is? Also when was cruising the Llangollen back in may there was a lock keeper on way up & down!
  7. Its very Sad. Didn't realise BW sold off all the tools. And left staff without windlasses???
  8. I untied from a wharf once after getting a pump out deseil etc & picked up an electric cable the boat yard had left & had fell in the cut. It was a while before I realised when the engine stopped dead. After a few words wiv the yard manager he made one of the lads get it off the prop took them just over 3 hours to do
  9. Hope your have a great trip can't wait to hear the stories
  10. Castlefield basin looked pretty busy yesterday afternoon lots of boats moored up Also Portland basin up the Rochdale 9 was pretty busy too
  11. Am Dave I was wiv my sister and brother in law on the boat u towed!!!! Nice you meet u. Glad you had an excellent trip. Have you enjoyed your time in the lakes too?
