It appears that Arnac may have been put-off coming back to this forum and replying by the mindless tripe posted in reply to his request by some of Thunderboat's irritating, but thankfully small, collection of pointless, ill-intentioned, know-nothing half-wits. I hope that isn't so, . . between me, the Tarleton lock-keepers (Mayors boatyard staff), the Douglas Boatyard, and Preston (Docks) Marina there's, in total, several lifetimes of experience and know-how at his disposal, . . including in my case, loading bagged chemicals overside in Preston Docks for delivery to ICI at Anderton in the 1960's. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello Arnac, . . and welcome to Thunderboat. I doubt there'll be any definitive answers from C&RT for you, or anyone else wanting to make the passage from Preston back to the Rufford Arm at Tarleton. But the good news is that with the joint co-operation of Preston Marina (Preston Docks), Douglas Marine (boatyard at Hesketh Bank on River Douglas), and Mayors Boatyard at Tarleton, who operate Tarleton Lock for C&RT, we can advise, schedule, and assist with passage from the Lancaster back onto the L&L's Rufford Arm at Tarleton for everyone who's been left stranded by the C&RT. God will be of considerable assistance too, . . he's still sending two tides up the Ribble every day, . . and the majority of them are big enough - 8.0 metres or more on the River Gauge at Preston Docks - to put enough water in the lower parts of Savick Brook for shallow draught canal boats, . . whatever nonsense the clowns at C&RT are saying to the contrary. Do you know roughly how many boats in total are wanting to get back from off the Lancaster before Winter ? With the Half-Tide Gate/Barrier at the low end of the semi-tidal section of Savick Brook out of use, it's very unlikely that any passages from Preston back to Tarleton will be possible without at least a one tide layover in either Preston Docks, or on a floating stage at Hesketh Bank on the River Douglas. Have the C&RT given any specific reasons, valid or otherwise, for limiting passage past the site of the breach at the aqueduct to seven days starting on 20 September ? Please call or e-mail if you would like more details, or any questions you'd like to have answered. You may well have read them already, but there are quite a few posts in this thread and others that you'll find informative and useful. I'll post links to them as soon as I've got time.

I think it's safe to assume Arnac's got the message by now. You have to admire Dunkley's cunning though- debunking the claim that he is a man beset by mental health issues by repeatedly posting the exact same thing over and over again.

With no further posts to follow up on his 26 August guest post, it appears that Arnac may have been put-off coming back to this forum for any further assistance with pilotage services, passage scheduling etc. by the mindless tripe posted in response to his request by a small handful of Thunderboat's particularly stupid, but very disruptive, group of pointless, ill-intentioned, know-nothing morons.
I hope this is not so. Between me, the Tarleton lock-keepers (Mayors boatyard staff), the Douglas Boatyard, and Preston (Docks) Marina there's, in total, several lifetimes of experience and know-how at his and others disposal, . . including from me, operating commercials to tight difficult to keep schedules on the rivers Douglas and Ribble, loading bagged chemicals overside in Preston Docks for transhipping to ICI at Anderton (River Weaver) in the 1960's. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello Arnac, . . and welcome to Thunderboat.

I did read that C&RT intend to open the link for one week this month, so people can get on or off before it is in any case closed for the winter.
Damned if I can find the report now, sorry.

Rog (Roger Day - aka 'Chloroform Alice' - a two-faced vapouring turd, hiding ill intent behind a facade of put-on phony goodwill) !n common with you, Chloroform Alice, and your contemptible little circle of like-minded internet trolls, the only things C&RT is capable of opening with any degree of competence or professionalism, are its corporate public relations bowels, . . whenever material and/or content is needed for any sort of navigation or stoppage notice or announcement.
