All they seem to have done so far is move a little digger onto site. I'll post a photo next week.<BR/><BR/>Dave and Chris -- I'm glad it's not only our hosepipe that's too short! I think ours is quite a bit shorter than it used to be, as people keep "repairing" it.<BR/><BR/>Simon -- The moorings right at the end were full. Not sure if the boats had been there months, though. If we'd stayed outside Trinity and they'd tried to charge us £5, I'd have referred them to their own sign on the other side of the entrace, which says casual visitor moorings are free for 48 hrs, then £5 a day after that.<BR/><BR/>Derek and Dot -- That's a kind offer. We quite liked our quiet mooring after all. Had we known you were down there while we were at the shop, we'd have walked down for a chat.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797263033136330290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120906711790802681.post-26287573930614193592009-03-10T10:26:00.000+00:002009-03-10T10:26:00.000+00:00Hi AdamIf we had known you wanted to stop you coul...Hi Adam<BR/>If we had known you wanted to stop you could have breasted up with us, we're not going anywhere, we grabbed the last spot about 1.30pmDerek and Dothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535441662037100577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120906711790802681.post-9884243094512291272009-03-09T23:59:00.000+00:002009-03-09T23:59:00.000+00:00they seem to have moved on the permament moorers f...they seem to have moved on the permament moorers from the 48hr moorings, then. ;-)<BR/><BR/>had you moored outside Trinity you would have found yourselves charged for overnight mooring - I carried on a little further to moor on the bend. the town itself wasn't worth the trip in, but a lot closer there's a good curry house next door to a pub:<BR/><BR/>http://nbtortoise.blogspot.com/2008/07/fri-18th-july-snarestone-to-hinckley.htmlSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098938874477314472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120906711790802681.post-47201642838469419502009-03-09T21:10:00.000+00:002009-03-09T21:10:00.000+00:00...I turned in the winding hole and reversed onto ......I turned in the winding hole and reversed onto the water point -- only to find that the hose pipe wouldn't reach.<BR/><BR/>Adam<BR/>I could've told you this :) we did the same last summer, a perfect turn/reverse to find the hose 2ft too short lol <BR/><BR/>You shouldve stopped at Market Bosworth & ventured into the "Batter of Bosworth chippy", fine food with a pub or two nearby. Lovely family butchers in the square as well.<BR/>Dave & Chris<BR/>NB SilkwoodDave & Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15316930726982452022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120906711790802681.post-66411660719052426952009-03-09T19:56:00.000+00:002009-03-09T19:56:00.000+00:00It's a shame you didn't have time to explore the l...It's a shame you didn't have time to explore the line of the canal up to Moira. We found bicycles handy for this four years ago. I read in Canal Boat that restoration of the missing bit of canal has started at the Snarestone end - did you see much evidence of it?Halfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167481543065324357noreply@blogger.com
