It is yours. Shore power cable SOLD

Chichester Yacht Basin, Birdham, Itchenor, all very much my old stamping ground. One could many years ago travel to London from there. That canal not only went to Chichester but on to join the River Arun at Ford. Then the Wey & Arun canal to The Thames.

Jackets SOLD X 2

1. Soft horseshoe lifebuoy. Zip off cover for washing £5.00 2. Kampa 25m shore power cable £10.00 (never used in original bag) 3. Seago automatic lifejacket, serviced by Seasafe April 2017 £10.00 4. Seago manual inflation lifejacket, serviced by Seasafe April 2017 £10.00 (I always had both types because you don't want the trouble of re-arming should you fall off your inflatable or step off the end of the slipway).

New series on More4 at 9.00pm on Tuesday called "My Floating Home" Don't know what it is about but I will record it and see!

MM & RBreeze, PM sent.

Yesterday afternoon I received a message from Roz, Richard Davies ( Viking 23's ) wife to say that he had just passed away. She has asked me not only to inform this forum's members of his passing but to express sincere thanks for all the kindness and and support that he received throughout his illness and to say what real strength it gave him in his fight. Richard was an inspirational man. Not only in the open way he shared and managed his illness which I know helped others face their own troubles, but he was just one of the World's Good Guys. I know all members will join me in sending our sincere condolences to Roz, their son and daughter Simon and Hanna, their spouses and the grand children that gave Richard so much pleasure.

BAH!!! Designer Gin nonsense.. Give me a Plymouth Pink with a dash of water, a proper nautical mans drink.

My advice would be keep your money in your pocket for now! By the end of your first season with her you will know what you want by way of upgrades and their order of priority.

Pretty certain the answer is nope.

I think he must mean Ant from HONING not Horning. One often finds Honing Lock refered to as Horning!

Silicone polish contamination can cause all sorts of problems should a surface need to be painted in the future. Like electronics silicone sprays are banned from paint manufacturing plants.

I was working on a project at Taffs Well in South Wales and had one of those calculators. It took up nearly all the boot of my Triumph Spitfire. We had one that that was fitted with a comtometer keyboard as well. But I never could get the hang of them.

Sorry Griff I forgot to say the other two grounds that I have attended, one just outside North Walsham on the Bacton Road and another as you approach the Trinities on the A149 travelling towards Yarmouth appear to have folded.

I go to Taverham for their open practice before the season. It was for many years in private hands but is now owned by Churchills. The valley behind the club house provides some very high clays and simulates driven birds well. The new road will get you there in no time. PS. Self operated electric traps, which are great when shooting on your own.

I do not wish to join this thread. However it occurs to me that maybe the very small size of The Broads....Not much over 100km for a craft that is practical to live on, when compared to the rest of the UK waterways in excess of 3500km may be the reason why there is an anti movement. I have no knowledge of the practicalities, but should I wish to follow an itinerant lifestyle ( which I find very attractive but am now a bit long in the tooth ) I would choose the freedom of the canals and major rivers over the landlocked Broads. ( I say landlocked because few boats are designed to safely escape The Broads )

The Dino 206/246 GT and GTS were imho the most beautiful of cars after the car that Enzo said was the most beautiful the MK1 3.8 E Type.

The weather over the last month has seriously denuded the beaches. An Allan Williams gun turret, like the one on the on the west bank of the Cley Marsh reserve has come to life on the beach at Bacton. Folk who have lived there all their lives have never seen it. I took this photo on Thursday.

That is what I did, thank The Lord. It gave us eight wonderful years before my wife's terminal cancer. If I had plodded on towards 65, we would have had no retirement together.

It was always our intention having secured a contract gardener to spend a summer in Ireland in order to drive the 2600km "Wild Atlantic Way" then return to the north by sailing from Killaloe to Belleek some 400km. But the attraction is not there anymore now that I am on my own.

Not one day boat waiting for easter punters

The feed put down for game birds also supports vast numbers of song birds during the Winter months.

My condolences on your geographical location for your chosen profession. I stand corrected. I have never found Cambridge too bad. However when we lived at Bledlow Ridge my late wife had to visit The John Radcliffe on a regular basis and it was a nightmare. Often it was school time and you would have a child or two on junior cycles with Mum doing the mother duck bit on her cycle with another riding pillion and the latest member of the family in a trailer being towed.

CC only disagree on one point.. Oxford I think has more cycles than even Cambridge and therefore is my cycling capital. Mind never been to Beijing.

At one time "The Canoe Man" was offering wild swimming on The Bure. I think it was around Lamas. Now that is ideal. Deep clear waters perfect for swimming and canoeing and not a hire cruiser in sight.
