Happy 2018. I hope everyone's luck and health improves rapidly...... and then steadily gets better through the year. Back onboard, and all's right with the world Rog PS Some will notice I never mentioned Saints v Quins Happy new year Rog. I've just about given up hope, pretty much like the saints squad themselves

Happy New Year All my your year be a good one. Here it is the start of another year of keeping boaters out of the hands of charlatans, where I can. Keep safe and well.

We bought 2 sacks of logs at a petrol station in Whitby £3.50 each which is OK. Petrol station top of hill Sowerby Bridge asking/demanding £7.00 for exactly the same! Somewhat amusing to think our logs will have come all the way from Whitby, past York and Leeds. Raining and gloomy now but had very fine weather in Staithes this afternoon, and great weather for Kettlewell - Coverdale - Middleham yesterday. Back to the boat soon... England's deepest lock awaits us in the morning! One of the best investments for a boater is a chainsaw I reckon, there's free wood everywhere along the cut and you are doing CRT a favour by cutting it up and taking it away. I did Tuel Lane lock last year, it is impressively deep. The lockies were very friendly and helpful.

I hate chainsaws. I did a tree felling course years ago and it persuaded me that manual sawing is more satisfactory. If you have to clear a forest then maybe its worth having a chainsaw but to feed a fire on a small boat I don't believe it is. Decent bow saw 30 inch, 36 inch or if you can find one, and blades, a 42 inch is the Holy Grail. And arms. My arms are like matchsticks but they can operate a bow saw. I've cut many cords of foraged wood with a collection of different bowsaws ranging from 24 to 36 inches. The key is to have Good Sharp Blades. This can not be overstated. You need Good Sharp Blades. Another thing is to have a decent hammer and splitting wedges to break down larger logs. With bowsaws you get warm 3 ways. Collecting the wood, cutting it and burning it the only reason you are cutting wood in that situation is because its cold. What's not to like

Scrotes tend to run away very quickly when you fire up a chainsaw and start waving it around, bowsaws don't have quite the same effect.

Although I believe it may be the fiendish glint in your eyes rather than the chain saw.
