Is it 40 miles, the Lancaster ?
Lock free at that.
Just never considered it worth bothering.

crap weather including gales so our crossing was postponed.Tides then kicked in & it would have been a good few days before the next possible crossing.We didn't fancy hanging around just in case the next crossing didn't happen.Sooo,back up the locks we went. But surely the Ribble link is navigable on any day and at any time of day regardless of weather or tidal conditions? The "Ribble Link" -- which is just under the 4 miles from the half-tide barrier in Savick Brook to the canal basin in the town -- would be navigable regardless of weather or tide conditions, . . IF it was being operated and run correctly.

you didn't have to provoke that Tony, this had been a nice thread without the bile ....... how it used to be most of the time on here Try looking through the other end of the telescope ! I'm just getting totally fed up with You, kris and Vince spreading nastiness over all parts of the forum.
I have had a go at all of you for it, this time you set it off again, there was no need to put in a sly jibe about the Ribble link.
There is no need for the three of you to spoil the atmosphere for everybody else.
There is more than enough for you all in either existing threads or the new one that kris started (which I've already called him a twat for doing)

He doesn't have a boat, he doesn't know the first thing about boats or boating, he is purely here to troll and for as long as he does I will continue to call the lying, thieving crook out for it.

For one moment I thought you were talking to me !π± Bit like us on our way back along the Shroppie last month,a disembodied voice shouted at us to slow down.I was just about to shout something rude,when I spotted Dave Moore(painter & signwriter) wetting himself laughing behind a moored boat.He'd done our signwriting & was a teacher for the same authority as me.Top bloke.

.Attempt 2(when we met Andy Berg)-crap weather including gales so our crossing was postponed. Tides then kicked in & it would have been a good few days before the next possible crossing.We didn't fancy hanging around just in case the next crossing didn't happen.Sooo,back up the locks we went. Can you remember if you were told that the tides were too big - Springs - or too small - Neaps ? The only reason for C&RT making tides a deciding factor in whether or not the trip from Tarleton to the Link and back is feasible, and can be made safely, is that they haven't a clue about how work tides by varying the departure and arrival times as necessary, or breaking the trip up to run over two tides instead of one. They're also failing to make proper use of the half-tide barrier in Savick Brook. Used correctly it would ensure that there was always an adequate depth along the whole length of the Savick Brook at any state of the tide, . . and it would create a half-tide holding point where boats could wait over the Low Water period for the next tide without drying out or grounding.

Tony ... please.
Nobody gives a stuff.
This is like groundhog day.
The link IS CLOSED in winter ... it's ALWAYS closed in winter ... it has ALWAYS been closed in winter.
That's it.

I presume Tony⦠That you do know that Roger and the lads at Mayors Yard Tarleton ( who ultimately have forgotten more about Ribble tides and crossings than than you will ever know!) have ultimate decision upon boats crossing the link & their decision has jack squit to do with CRT?

Its sad when an interesting thread is again spoilt by the toxic nature of certain posters. I don't give a stuffed shirt about the rights n wrongs and opinions of these 3 stupid men who are hell bent on ruining a forum for the rest of us. When ever theres an opportunity to wind up they'll take it... they are all worse than a bunch of rabid teenagers. Give it a break ......

I presume Tony⦠That you do know that Roger and the lads at Mayors Yard Tarleton ( who ultimately have forgotten more about Ribble tides and crossings than than you will ever know!) have ultimate decision upon boats crossing the link & their decision has jack squit to do with CRT? You've quoted only a very small part of what I said, . . and that's caused it to be quoted out of context. This is what I actually did say, ALL of it, and if you read ALL of it properly, the point I'm making just might become apparent :-- "The only reason for C&RT making tides a deciding factor in whether or not the trip from Tarleton to the Link and back is feasible, and can be made safely, is that they haven't a clue about how work tides by varying the departure and arrival times as necessary, or breaking the trip up to run over two tides instead of one.
They're also failing to make proper use of the half-tide barrier in Savick Brook. Used correctly it would ensure that there was always an adequate depth along the whole length of the Savick Brook at any state of the tide, . . and it would create a half-tide holding point where boats could wait over the Low Water period for the next tide without drying out or grounding."_________________________________________________________________________________________ I'm very glad to hear that the tide lock at Tarleton is still kept by the boatyard staff, and that the arsehole C&RT management don't interfere with penning boats, . . at Tarleton. But it's still C&RT with what you call the "ultimate decision upon boats crossing the link". That's because it's C&RT, . . who by NOT using the half-tide barrier as it should be used, and keeping Lock No.8 in the Savick Brook permanently chained up unless C&RT staff are in attendance, . . are making sure that any boats getting there too late in the day to get all the way up to the canal basin in the town, can't wait overnight if necessary on the floating pontoon, out of the tide and safe from drying out on the mud that they could 'suck down' into and not float up on the next tide.

I've tried it both ways, ignore and not. But TD will not desist until either he's dead or his phone is, and is demonstrating to anyone with even a shred of lingering doubt that he is a preposterous windbag. Funny when you think that not so long ago quite a few thought he was the righteous underdog. It's only a problem if you think it is.
