Hi, Your comments are always most welcome
Hi Sue and Vic,
Glad to read you are enjoying your walks and I'm sorry to hear about all of your mooring difficulties.
We've been well. We're working our way through the beginning of the Christmas orders. Doesn't seem as busy this year as it has been in the past. Maybe we're just more prepared. At any rate, have been enjoying reading about your progress along the Shropshire, your new puppy Meg and all of the news.
Hope you have a nice weekend.
Best wishes,
Mark
PS: Shipped a doll to Leamington Spa last week, and remembered your visit there a while back. The lady lived one block from the canal and was very interested to hear about your blog.
Talk to you soon,
Mark
Hello Sue
I starting reading boating blogs earlier this year when we placed our order order for our very own Narrowboat. We aim to be joining the boating community next summmer as continuous cruisers. Love the blog!
I picked up on your comment below...
Ah but then I had my trusty PDA with gprs and an ordnance survey map of the area on it.. the pointer showed me which way to go across the field following the line of the footpath..
Ordnance survey on a hand held ..tell me more

Mark,
I guess it is a bit early yet for the Christmas rush. Only this week have the towns and cities turned on their Christmas lights, you will be inundated soon!
I don't really have mooring difficulties, just I have a problem with the way they are implemented, and soon Mark it will be 'Winter Mooring' time, when British Waterways gives a lot of the Visitor Moorings over to people who pay to leave their narrowboats tied up over the winter period.
Trouble is that leaves no room for boats like No Problem to moor in villages and towns.
No doubt I will be moaning again soon!
Nice to hear from you as always Mark.
Hi Lesley,
Oh I bet you just cant wait for that boat to be built, well you will love this way of life, and no doubt we will meet somewhere on the cut.
It is just a PDA with Memory-map running on it. I wouldn't be without it now. I never get lost, I can always find my way, and if ever anything should happen, I can tell exactly where I am using the gps grid.
Have a look at the Memory Map website, that will give you all the information, and as for the PDA it is a Mio A200.

Hi Sue, I do not think that 'legally' BW can limit the stay to less than 14 days. Go to the NABO web site and contact Simon Robins, the Moorings Rep. Chas
