Off we go agian

 Good Morning campers 

Having set out yesterday for our next destination almost everything went according to plan.. Up dressed breakfast a few jobs to make Buggerlugs ship shape and off to the shops and back  in an hour something of a record. then it was cast off First port of call was water Noreen is doing more washing today .  Putting on water was a bit precarious as you have to share the platform with a load of Brickeis who are making improvements to the amenities jetty anyway I soon recovered from that ordeal and its then off to our next mooring we are now on the boat lift mooring but not the new pontoon ones they are all full of boats that have been there since Noah passed by we are on a mooring that is on the picnic park one that we have used for the past ten years. The boat in front of us is a very old wooden working boat  towing (when it moves ) a old BW maintenance which in all reality is a small holding on the water including chickens crowing away all day its not for me to dictate how people run their boat but I do object the cocks crowing at 05.30. Sorry I transgress The pics I took on the way here show a very gentle cruise and it just shows how Pics can lie I arrived here soaked to the skin and knackered I had to fight squalling winds mixed with  torrential rain and typically as I drove the last mooring pin in it stopped, However thats life the rest of the day was very damp so all the washing was not going to dry for the first time since we set out we lit a fire last night. this morning we awoke to a lovely day that was 2 hours ago its now dull and over cast just right for fishing so thats me set for the day 

Look after you and yours and Stay safe 

It would appear only Julie is receiving the blog. I know its not as instant as Whatsapp but I can write more than one sentence on this 

God Bless Buggerlugs

This is and old Liverpool Flat it brought good from Liverpool docks
 up to the Trent and Mersey canal onto Narrow Barges then along the canal to placses foreign like Stoke and Stafford or even exotic such as Birmingham 
What I am more interested in is the yellow plant on the front that would make a great ground cover or my garden any one what it is? 
The picture above and Below is part of the weaver trail it starts at the Anderton lift its a lovely walk and flat 


If you van see him this is Henry the Heron every year we com down the Weaver 
You can find him sat in which must be his favourite Perch 


Just casting off from the service jetty on our way it is actually raining

  END OF SEASON I know I have been conspicuous by my absence but really I have had nothing to say nothing that I could say with using language that would get me into Trouble. CRT (canal River Trust ) has ruined our holiday and thousands of other boater's holidays be they owners or hirers. In a normal season Noreen and I covered approximately 600 miles this year we covered just under 120 for no other reason than CRT's Inability to maintain the canal and river system that they BY LAW have to!! we managed to cruise between Liverpool and Anderton (Northwich ) We were restricted in our movements by stoppages, Lock Closures because of failure, stoppages because of bank collapse and holes ie no bloody water, Now CRT keeps telling us (boaters ) that its due to Vandalism, Lack of Water, Too much water, the Weather, environment matters Vole Breeding season? And so many other perfectly pathetic excuses. The main reason for these stoppages is so so simple CRTs inability to unde...

crossing Barton Bridge

Barton Bridge carries The Bridgewater Canal over the Manchester ship Canal it is one of the masterclasses in Canal Engineering it is closed at both ends Then  it swing in a 45% angle to allow large ships to pass through bellow,  If you want to see it I believe that they have a practice every Thur morning  However no boats are allowed in the tub Whilst it is moving ?????

Here we are again  Yet another twist in this strangest of cruises, As I recorded in my last blog was that we had arrived in Burscough, it is a great place to meet up with other boaters that haven't seen for some time I have no idea why it just appears to be that way. We only intended to be in Burscough 2 nights and had to stay 4 nights to get to Scarisbrick there are two swing bridges and yes you guessed it the day we were to leave a vehicle struck the Balestrade of the bridge and crippled the bridge it was either a large HGV or a Tractor either one it makes no difference as there are weight limit signs which should deter large vehicles going over the very rickety bridge but they all know that the police will not take action and neither will CRT . though this time the repair crew has opened the bridge for water traffic and closed it for everything else, I believe they are in no rush to fix it. This means that road traffic will not be able to use the road as a shortcut to the indust...
