Parked down the lane when the rural policing unit comes by at 3:15am, drunk in charge of a motor vehicle, and possession of cannabis. Got a caution for the weed; and a NFA for the drunk in charge. Talk about a waste of police time! Bonus was they did give me a lift back to the van.

I haven’t been keeping up, thought you’d curled ya toes.
-
Missed you by a mile mate, I’ve been busy but missed you.
-
Where’s @Stubby, I’ve been absent myself, but where’s arl fella?
-
Fair play, now I’ve thought about it, it’s Mill lane?
-
I understand the use of culverts, but why plug holes? I needed to drain a pound on the Rochdale to cut a spring mattress off the prop, seemed easy enough.
-
Didn’t know about Bollington, was it a breach that caused the whirlpool?
-
Like many, but not enough of the bridges it’s been restored. No need for iron wearing strips now.
-
Yep, towpath changes side, no need to untie the horse.
-
One I know, but why ya reckon this canal bridge was built like this. It’s bridge 77 on the Macc before ya cheat!😀 the picture tells it all.

@maybelateron did I pass you on Mill Road the other day, 2 trucks with private plates on, one with Oak, the white one following had Kev on it?
-
Brilliant! The same dates I’m going to meet a mate and his wife in York. I’m out.
-
People don’t understand, it’s a job on its own, does the freedom outweigh it, imo it does.

I’m getting too old for it, it sounds glamorous living in a camper but it’s hard work on the road in winter. Normally I’d pull on somewhere but prices are mad, I spoke to a bloke in Mow Cop, lovely place, but he wanted £600/month to pull my trailer on. Our mortgage doesn’t cost that!
-
Sold, gone halves with our kid on another apartment, flat to to you and me. Although the camper is good I’m not doing another winter on the road.

There’s been rioting in Stoke for the past few days, mosques and shops being targeted. Groups of English and Asians having it off at any given chance. Shops and pubs have closed early today because they knew more classes had been organised for tonight. This is my home town this evening.
-
Just out of curiosity, what’s an excellent rate of pay for a climber, and groundworker. Obviously it depends on experience, just a rough idea? -
Thank you Bud, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, it’s a bastard of an illness, but I’m a great believer in pushing on, I might get down at times but I’ll be fecked if it will beat me.
-
Much appreciated, the biggest victory is getting the residential side of things sorted, and I do feel slightly smug, I was told by stacks of folk I wouldn’t get it passed again.
-
Good advice, the chances of me finding another plot like this one are slim and none. I’m going to keep it for now, although East Anglia is where I feel most settled.
-
I’m with your way of thinking all the way, I gave £15k for the plot and another £10k for the ‘shed’, it’s falling down but there is water and electric there, it’s cost me around £50k to get to this stage. £300k bid now it’s passed. It, imo will never get full planning for houses, but it’s worth good money to the right people. Keep it, or move it on?…
-
It is a result, and word soon spreads. Two gypsy men have already bid me on it. Decisions, decisions!
-
Idyllic hey? 50 yards behind those pictures is the A52! Still, we can’t have it all!
-
When me and the ex Mrs bought our bungalow in Suffolk we took extra money to buy this plot in Derbyshire, although well lapsed when we bought it it did have permission for 3 static, and more importantly, residential homes, this week I got it passed again, It’s been a long slog. Anyway, I’ve started work on it.

Yes, bio security is extremely strict. $180 fine taking our kids golf clubs in that didn’t meet there criteria.
