Good god, can't remember when I was last out so late!
Pub empty when we walked in at 8, by the time of the quiz start at 9 the pub was mobbed.
The marrooned boater team did not disgrace boaters I'm glad to say. Especially when you measure beers drank...

We've done a couple of pub quizzes over that way - like you say, empty at half 8 and then full of folks wanting the free supper (curry sauce and chips on polystyrne trays) with the quiz lol Brilliant! btw - assuming you DO get to Wigan, have you sorted out help from the "wigan flight crew" ? - they have a face on pagebook and whilst some can be a bit of a pain (if you are already capable) on a miserable wet and windy day, they will willingly come along and make life for a single hander more bearable.

Crikey, it's almost as if you are suggesting that the perception of the WFC has been somewhat distorted by previous unfavourable reports...

Will contact the Wigan Flight Crew once able to move again...
Feeling a bit rough this morning......

It's all that concentration and mental effort ... takes it out of you (not the beer obviously)

48 led's from a rough count ... and in that position I would guess it just shines straight forward.
Seems like overkill ... especially if they're bright white rather than warm white.

Paid about 40 quid for ours. If you like boating in the dark will it will definitely light the way up.

They have done eff all since Tuesday except work out that the 'leak we have found' is in fact the bywash filling the pound below the lock nd then backfilling the lock! They tried closing the top new bottom gates on the top lock to stop the bywashes but soon realised that once the top lock filled, about 15mins, then the bywashes started again...
They havn't even got the old concrete out and pumps to help resolve the matter are not due to arrive until Monday.
Bunch of effing clowns - if I had known our very own Jim had been put in charge of maintenance on this canal I would have chosen a different route!

it really is a shame it can't be relied upon (the L & L) - closure by incremental stealth springs to mind. - it's had long periods of mid season stoppages since I started doing this.. HOW lady teal manages to operate is a miracle..
