Living on a continuous cruiser on the UK canal system under CRT rules.
Not much of a move, but I’m on a different canal now. Blisworth Arm. Leads to the River Nene which has been non-navigable for the last few weeks. I believe it’s calming down now, and the boats are starting to come past me again. Blisworth Arm It’s very quite here. The bird sing a lot. […]
This is my new location, commonly named ‘Gayton Junction’. I was here last year, only under the A43 flyover, listening to the cars and trains and painting my boat during the day. The boat is painted now, and I don’t have to stay under the flyover. You can see Bonnie on the picture if you […]
Arrived on Sunday. Moved through the tunnel, across the snow covered wastelands of Northampton. Most of the journey is underground, through the Blisworth tunnel, which is if I remember rightly, a little over a mile. Now located in Blisworth, where I will stay for the next couple of weeks. Blisworth is OK. It’s got a […]
I’ve been here for a week now. Due to life events of one type or another, haven’t got round to updating the blog until today. Stoke Bruerne Last stop before you go into Buckinghamshire. Stoke Bruene is at the top of a set of six locks. Not wanting to go down the six locks, I’ve […]
Got this USB Voltmeter to charge up my devices and let me know how much PD I’ve got in my battery. USB Voltmeter Mobile/fitbit/tablet/other devices All use USB rather than 240v or any other fitting. I saw this device on ebay and it’s taken me since October to figure out where to put it! Here […]
Or slightly outside. When I was doing the compliance, they called it ‘Flore’. Not really Flore, but closer to the motorway. Nether Hayford Has a shop and two pubs. Bakers. Other bits and pieces. It’s not such a bad place. Was going to stay in Weedon, but they decided they’re going to shut the A5 […]
The winter mooring has finished, and I’m off again. What a waste of time it was. When they said ‘Braunston’ with roughly a mile of 24/48/14 day moorings, I didn’t anticipate they’d put me outside the village. Braunston Village Is fair enough. The people at the post office are friendly, and will try and resolve […]
I’ve been here two weeks, but only just moved onto my ‘winter moorings’ today. It doesn’t look to great at the moment, but the boat in front is moving along, so I’ll get his spot. It’s brighter, with a view through the trees at Braunston Church. Braunston vs Devizes Devizes, where I winter moored last […]
Not a big move, but a move. Perhaps a mile or so. Weedon has some CRT facilities! Bins…. Wehey! Here’s some pictures of my current moorings. Low profile It’s not as low profile as Nether, as you can see, there are plenty of boats and boaters around. It’s not far from both the village of […]
Over the course of the last few weeks, I’ve been planning to upgrade the electrics of Bonnie Lady narrowboat. One of the first jobs has been to add to the battery bank Battery Bank Is a collection of batteries which feed the boat and all the appliances on it. Currently, we have 2 AGM 120ah […]
