  1. I think you will have to enter the Stainforth and Keadby. I believe you might be able to moor near the Sanitary Station there. Failing that, you will have to go to Thorne.
  2. The part of the world you are referring to is very expensive for moorings. I think you are being unrealistic in your cost expectations. Residential moorings are very hard to find. The best way to find moorings is to short list all the marinas in the area and visit them in person. Try calling your local BW office but I would look for a non-residential mooring first.
  3. Yes with a 12ft beam, you would be excluded from cruising on the narrow canals. I've seen a map somewhere on the net showing where you would and wouldn't be able to cruise.
  4. I like a lot of members, have membership of several forums. CWF is good for technical content because it has a lot of members as it has been running for a lot longer and therefore, I suspect, a greater depth of technical experience amongst its following. However, I find the other forums less argumentative/negative and a bit more positive and fresh. I believe all the canal forums have different strengths and weaknesses - I guess its a bit like deciding whether to watch ITV or BBC !! P.S my signature link is because that was my first introduction to canal forums and first loves always last the longest .
  5. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  6. The BW registration number stays with the boat - its really the main way BW have of identifying the hull with names being very secondary.
  7. Thanks everybody for your contributions. Mixed reviews huh. I think I'll defer it for a bit longer to see what happens with the technology.
  8. Does it support an external aerial ??
  9. For some time now, I have been considering solar panels. Since the rain stopped and the sun came out, I've been thinking about it again. I've surfed the tinternet but there are so many types out there and so many different prices, its all a bit confusing. Any advice ??

  12. I've been following the build of this boat for a while. Mike has a very interesting website. Congratulations Mike.
  13. Its quite possible he just wants to do some long overdue jobs before the boat is surveyed because he knows it will be picked up by the surveyor. I think all boats have jobs that need doing and often never get done until something like this jolts us out of our lethargy.
  14. We all have a right to be on the water. The control of canoes varies depending on the attitude/experience of the instructor. Like people on forums, some are muppets. Most instructors will shepherd the group to the side and let the narrowboat pass, to ensure the safety of his group, which has already been said, he has a duty of care for. Many of these kids are the future users of our canals.
  15. At least by excluding everybody but me, I offend all or none - there are no individual victims.
  16. Thanks for the hurrah, but I don't see myself as part of a clique. Cliques always exclude people which is a kind of elitism. I live on my boat alone and am very much a lone (she) wolf.
  17. I have been lurking for a while and decided to join today to add my voice. It seems to me that people have different expectations of this forum. This forum probably contains a pretty even cross section of the general public. This means it contains the meek, the mild, the prim, the attention seekers and the bullies. If I don't like something about my life, I change it. If I can't change it because its beyond my influence and it makes me unhappy, I move on. As another poster pointed out, there are various canal forums out there with different flavours and styles. If you don't like this one and you are entitled to that opinion, move on to one you like better. Hopefully, people will then gravitate to the forum that suits them best
