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. -
Ray Reardon died, brilliant in his day.

I’ve watched them on campsites over the years, how the feck they traveled 200 miles for a two week break in the sun amazes me. Alex might disagree, but some should not be let out with a dog on a lease never mind pulling a trailer.
-
I’ll be right @Anno, it always comes good, even if I have to force it at times. That said I’ve been fairly remote for a couple of weeks with little or no access to the internet, and phone signal until yesterday when I spoke to our oldest kid, apparently the old bill have been to his looking for me, (I use his address as my base), I’ve no idea what they want, and they wouldn’t tell my brother. Spoke to a brief this evening, he’s going to ring them then get back to me. Sounds serious, but I’m genuinely at a loss as why they want to speak to me.

Where is it, if it’s close enough I’ll buy it at trade price.

@maybelateron was that your crew in Wetley Rocks today, some fencing, the others carting timber in a blue Isuzu? I got a lift through there going to the motor factors earlier. I’m

The garage, to be fair I was in agreement with them, it was only when the extent of the mods were discovered the price shot up. The drive shafts are 20mm shorter than the originals, not something that would be easily spotted until they offered the new ones up.
