  1. Exactly what i ve just done except i used round led,s in smaller light fittings well an extra vent in the eberplutterer should do the trick!!

  4. It,s a bit of a trek up to the pub ,for a weekend but in the past we have had a good night there, a good thing to have tucked away is a few packets of cigs....it,s a hell of a place to run out of them!!.Hope the new Landlord can bring it round ,but don,t think he will if he dosn,t change the menu, it was not exactly memorable the last 2 times we went
  5. To get the post to reset to zero, the post would have to read each card, and then only zeroo that one as, someone else who plugs in after you ,and puts his card in to top up is not going to be best pleased if he get,s zero,ed, you would have to modify all the existing posts this may be too costly ,or a too longer payback time to be viable? good idea though
  6. I wouldn,t call the river Welland a waterway anymore, from stamford to market deeping it,s little more than a stream in places and has wiers, but no locks,Spalding has some locks, and a river taxis but is still very shallow, (the lock is permantly open),so don,t really know how they can claim it,s a waterway??
  7. Hi Jim, just done the le grand crew this weekend,the falcon flat lights were easy, ive gone for the blue ish light in these ,they look very good as used the original opacke lens,the small spots are a different matter, havn,t found an led solution for those yet, as they are baynet fitting lamps, if you find any could you let me know??
  8. Carry on as normal!! Sue has to dodge the clutter!!(spare this that and the other)
  9. ]Hi, there are many arguments for and against for keeping your boat perminantly ready for a day/weekend out in winter,the weekend just gone we decided we were going to get a weekend away on the boat,so a quick call to Que Vadis for weather updates during the week sealed the deal.We left for Norfolk after work friday ,and arrived a the mariner about 7 30pm,oh dear it,s frozen over!!,so a session of ice testing revealed it was very soft ice /slushy, because of the brakish water(st olaves).After warming the boat up, and doing some preparation work we settled down with drinks and telly....outside the temp dropped to minus 8!!! . Morning came so after several cups of tea ,it was time to test the ice again, strangely the ice was creaking and what sounded like screeming quiet loudly too,...the tide had just started to rise it was about 1/2 inch thick,sooooo started the old girl up and put her in foward gear,great large chucks of ice started to break because of the air pumping under the ice,so the decision was made to go for it!.When ready we let go the ropes and gingerly selected reverse...no proplems behind the boat so made the turn to go out of the mariner, the ice wasn,t broken here so it was slowly forward, creaking and craking our way through to the entrance to the new cut,, which had slusshy ice flows coming down it!! .Anyway by this time the sun was shinning and it was lovely and warm under the canvass(after mopping up all the water because it had frozen inside overnight) .We did a left and then a left ,to meet Que Vadis for the trip down to Braydon,ducking under st olaves bridge. The trip down to Braydon was great ice flowing down the river but very soft stuff,there was a heavy frost on the reeds and against a cyristal blue sky looked ....stunning.Braydon looked fantastic aswell with several hundred wading birds on the ice/mud at the edge of the channel.We proceeded up the Yare past reedham,the service from the bridge was very good with very imformative operator(for Que Vadis as is tall boat).further up we we decided we might visit Rockland broad and the New INN ,but there was tooo much ice.So it was back to to plan a . I was kicking myself i didn,t take the camara but Que had a go with his phone ,the river was like glass ,with lying snow and frost.... As you can see the light was fantastic for pictures, we arrived at our chosen mooring for the night ,Surlingham ferry and had a great night ,Yummy!! and lots of the amber necter,Sunday was overcast but brightened later. all in all a great boating weekend.
