We're Back & September Schedules

We'll it's been a long while since we posted on our Blog & there's been a lot going on with plenty of water under the bridge. 

We're been work hard on new plans which have fnally come to fruition, this means that's we're now working as part of a team of 3 fuel boats. On the Llangollen Canal we are working with Hannah & Jon on Fuel Boat Mountbatten, whilst on the Four Counties we've established a new joint venture working with Martin Catterall & Fuel Boat Halsall.

During the winter months, at times we struggle to stock sufficient fuels to meet ad-hoc demand, so to ensure a delivery please pre-order with a text or call to us on 07791345004.

Cheers, Brian & Ann ‎Marie

Summer Time and the Living is Easy

Well over the Summer we've been kept fairly busy mainly with fendermaking & diesel sales. But we've also managed to take a bit of time off relaxing with friends & family. Ann Marie spent a couple of weeks with her family in Canada, whilst I've had a couple of breaks aboard Bad‎ger with my good mate George Boyle including attending the Braunston & Alvecote Historic Boat Gatherings. We've also had a few good family get togethers, the highlight being a journey on the Paddle Steamer Waverley from Liverpool to Llandudno with my Dad, brother Mike & Ann Marie, this was something to tick of the "bucket list" for both myself & Dad, it surpassed our expectations & was a truly memorable day. 

We've also been busy maintaining & preparing Alton for the Autumn & Winter, with engine servicing and docking for blacking, hull work & stern gear refurbishment. Due to a clash with Bank Holiday our docking has slightly delayed our usual schedule, so our current planned schedule is as follows:-

Sept 2014

Mon 1st - Tues 2nd:  Dry Docking at Ashton Packet Boat Company

‎Wed 3rd - Thurs 4th:  Ashton to Marple & Whaley Bridge 

Fri ‎ 5th - Tues 9th: Whaley Bridge to Nantwich / Bunbury via Macclesfield, Congleton, Kidsgrove, Wheelock & Middlewich

Tues 9th - Wed 10th: Bunbury to Anderton via Middlewich

Sun 14th - Mon 15th: Whaley Bridge to Ashton via Marple

Tues 16th - Wed 24th: Cabin repairs & maintenance in wet dock

Wed 17th - Thurs 18th:   Road deliveries to Hyde, Ashton under Lyne & Manchester

Ann Marie - Dinghy Dawdling

Messing about in boats.... - On the Dingy Dawdle

Brian enjoying his day off, photo by Roger Fuller

Easter at the Port, followed by Dingy Dawdling on the Weaver

Once again I'm late updating our blog with our current schedule, thanks to all our customers who've called, texted & e-mailed to check our whereabouts, but I'd better get this done :-).

Our main event last month was attending the Ellesmere Port Boat Museums Easter Gathering. Ourselves & Alton have been supporting this event for the past 20 years (not always together) & it's one of our favourite events. The weather was fairly good & it was wonderful to catch up with family & old friends over a tea & hot cross buns or a pint or two in the Rolt Centre. On Easter Sunday we had a busy time making deliveries to many of the visiting boats at the Port, it's become something of a tradition for Alton's previous owner George Boyle to take the tiller & give Ann Marie the day off, it was great to see him skillfully manoeuvre Alton into all sorts of nooks & crannies around the Port.

Before heading back to the Macc, we returned via the River Weaver, its so lovely to get some deep water under the boat & we were treated to the Wonderful sight of Joel (powered by a Kelvin Paraffin engine) passing us near Barton, closely followed by Stamford, Severn, & Kenilworth all having returned from the Port via the Manchester Ship Canal. We had a good run up & down the river with deliveries down to Dutton & back up as far as Vale Royal.

After another hectic month, we've still not kept to our New Years resolution of taking a few days off, so the first weekend in May we decided to take a busman's holiday & joined the Carter Family & friends for their annual Dingy Dawdle on the River Weaver. It was just what we needed to let our hair down, simply messing about on the river. We had a great chilled out day, exploring parts of the river we could never reach on a narrowboat whilst soaking up the sun. We had a hoot & after a successful rescue of an outboard engine from the bottom of the river, the day was topped off with a barbecue & a good old natter around the fire, we do like the simple things in life. A huge thank you to the Carter Family for arranging a great day.

Frosty Mornings & Fendermaking

Well our New Years resolution of taking more time off went straight out of the window in March. The frosty cold snap kept us busy with fuel deliveries & the days in between were taken up with trying to keep up with fender orders & running two fendermaking courses. We do enjoy running these courses & we've been lucky to have such enthusiastic trainees that its been a great deal of fun passing on our skills & knowledge.

By the start of April we were well & truly ready for a few days break, so we went up to the Wirral to be with family to help celebrate my Dads 79th birthday with a lovely meal & a walk around Chester's Roman walls. Then last Sunday was our wedding anniversary so we had a stroll around Leek's excellent farmers market, followed by a steam train ride on the Churnet Valley Railway including up the Cauldon Lowe line to Ipstones, which was very interesting. We finished the day off with Dinner at the Black Lion at Consall Forge. This pub has a magical location beside the river Churnet, the Caldon Canal & the Churnet Valley Railway. With a good choice of local real ales & good value home cooked food it's well worth a visit if your boating on the Caldon.

So to our plans for this month, our April schedule is as follows:-

Thurs 3rd - Fri 4th: Road deliveries to Whaley Bridge, Hyde, Ashton under Lyne & Manchester
Tues 8th - Thurs 10th: Road deliveries to Cheshire Run inc Congleton, Kidsgrove, Middlewich, Nantwich, Ellesmere Port, Northwich & River Weaver in addition Stoke, Stone and Audlem
Fri 11th : Oakgrove (Br49 Macc) to Whaley Bridge via Macclesfield, Poynton & Marple
Sat 12th - Sun 13th: Return Whaley Bridge to Oakgrove (Br49 Macc) via Marple, Poynton & Macclesfield.
Mon 14th - Fri 18th: Oakgrove to Ellesmere Port via Congleton. Kidsgrove, Middlewich and Nantwich
Sat 19th - Sun 20th: Attending the Easter Boaters Gathering at Ellesmere Port see:- http://canalrivertrust.org.uk/national-waterways-museum/events/2014/04/18/easter-boat-gathering-and-sea-shanty-festival-at-the-national-waterways-museum-ellesmere-port
Mon 21st - Wed 23rd: Ellesmere Port River Weaver & Preston Brook, via Chester & Middlewich.
Thurs 24th - Fri 25th: Preston Brook to Oakgrove (br 49) Macc via Middlewich and Congleton

Stormy Start to 2014

Well 2014 has certainly got off to a stormy start, we've been battered by rain, hail & high winds, but you know us, we're out delivering whatever the weather. The weather has certainly tested out our boating skills, patience & determination. As usual our customers have been brilliant, keeping us going with good banter, coffees & even breakfast! (thanks Shaun & Sue on NB Whisper).

We're not really into new years resolutions but one thing we are determined to do in 2014 was to take a bit more time off. It's so easy when you work for yourself & love what you do to find that you're working all the hours god sends. But everyone needs some downtime so we're making a concerted effort to take some time out for ourselves as well as to spend time with friends & family. The weekend of 11/12th would have been my parents 50th wedding anniversary (my Mum passed away in 2012) so we decided to organise a McGuigan family weekend, where 3 generations could get together to celebrate. We had a lovely time staying with our friends the Fletchers near Hebden Bridge in their amazing home. We laughed, cried, ate, drank, chilled, reminisced, remembered & all in all had a great weekend! A fortnight later we were ready for more R&R, on another dire day we enjoyed foodie shopping at Macclesfield's Treacle Market, followed by me taking a walk up Teggs Nose whilst Ann Marie decided to do some baking :-). So we're determined to keep enjoying a little bit more down time each month.

With the recent stoppages at Booth Lane Locks & Middlewich, we've been doing all our Cheshire round by road deliveries. Hopefully we'll be able back delivering by boat during February as we've managed to get a "window" through the Middlewich stoppage, it'll be tight for time, but we'll crack on & give it our best shot!

So, this means that our schedule for Feb 2014 looks like this

Sat 1st - Sun 2nd Feb : Oakgrove (Br49 Macc) to Whaley Bridge via Macclesfield, Poynton & Marple
Mon 3rd - Tues 4th Feb: Return Whaley Bridge to Oakgrove (Br49 Macc) via Marple, Poynton & Macclesfield
Wed 5th - Thurs 6th Feb: Road deliveries to Whaley Bridge, Hyde, Ashton under Lyne & Manchester
Tues 11th - Thurs 13th: Road deliveries to Cheshire Run inc Congleton, Kidsgrove, Middlewich, Nantwich, Ellesmere Port, Northwich & River Weaver in addition Stoke, Stone and Audlem
Fri 14th - Sun 16th: Oakgrove (Br49 Macc) to Whaley Bridge via Macclesfield, Poynton & Marple
Sun 16th - Mon 17th. Return Whaley Bridge to Oakgrove (Br49 Macc) via Marple, Poynton & Macclesfield.
Tues 18th - Fri 21st Oakgrove to Preston Brook via Congleton. Kidsgrove, Middlewich and Anderton
Fri 21st - Mon 24th Preston Brook to Ellesmere Port via Anderton, Middlewich, Nantwich and Chester
Mon 24th - Thurs 27th Ellesmere Port to Oakgrove (br 49) Macc via Chester, Barbridge, Middlewich and Congleton
Sat 1st - Sun 2nd March : Oakgrove (Br49 Macc) to Whaley Bridge via Macclesfield, Poynton & Marple
Mon 3rd - Tues 4th March: Return Whaley Bridge to Oakgrove (Br49 Macc) via Marple, Poynton & Macclesfield
Wed 5th - Thurs 6th March: Road deliveries to Whaley Bridge, Hyde, Ashton under Lyne & Manchester

Happy New Year & All The Best for 2014

Well we worked our socks off right up to Christmas eve, eve ;-). So we were determined to have a relaxing break over Christmas & New Year. We took a full week off, I think if we hadn't Ann Marie might have revolted! My Brother Mike came down to spend Christmas with us, I cooked my legendary scrambled eggs for a brunch & then Ann Marie gave us a lift into town to sample a pint or two at the Macc & the Wharf, followed by a canal walk back to along the canal. Ann Marie cooked us a fine Christmas Dinner. On Boxing Day, we blew the cobwebs away walking up on Sutton Common & Croker hill, followed by a pint & late lunch at the Church House in Sutton.
Then we went away for a long weekend down the South & West. We took our Acadyane on 2CVGB's raid Imber, joining 35 Citroen 2CV's green laning around Salisbury Plain, finishing at the deserted village of Imber. On the Sunday our good friends Dan & Emy had a bit of a house party with the band Blyth Power playing live. We had a great chilled out time catching up with friends old & new. Finally to New Year where my sister Fiona & 4 year old niece Ellie came to stay with us aboard Shirley. We had lots of visits to the park and a few more to the pub. This rounded off a great weeks break, leaving us refreshed and ready to tackle whatever 2014 has in store for us. So Happy New Year to all our family, friends, customers & supporters, wishing you a happy & healthy year ahead :-). So, on with our schedule for Jan 2014.

Alton's Docking & September Schedule

Last month it was time for Alton's Biennial Docking for blacking & hull maintenance. We used the side slip at Ashton Packet Boat Company which is a great bit of kit that enables us to be able to get under the boat easily & check the hull & make any repairs. Mike the surveyor came out to check over the hull. No major problems were found, but some additional shoeing was needed to protect the chine angle & a few other jobs were required. Alan set to with the welding, Steve & I got busy with the blacking and within a week Alton was back in the water. Big thanks to Steve, Alan, Bob & all the folk at Ashton Packet boat company.

We're now setting off on our first big coal run of the autumn & it's great to get some big deliveries of coal in our order book as customers start stocking up their supplies. So we're looking forward to a busy couple of weeks before returning to Ashton Packet for more work on Alton's, cabin work this time :-).

Our schedule for September 2013 is as follows:-

Spanish Citroen Sojourn

It's time for our Biannual journey to the World Meeting of 2CV Friends. This year it's in Alcaniz, Spain. We arrived on Tuesday & it's been scorching with temperatures in the high 30's. We've caught up with friends we haven't seen in ages, sampled the local beers (Ambar Especial being the beer of choice at the moment), wines & sangria and admired a great selection of A series Citroens.

We're camped on the hillside over looking the Motorland racing circuit. The sun is waking us before 9, but by about noon it's becoming too hot to do much, so it's time to find some shade down by the lake have some cool drinks and catch a siesta. There's been various activities such as engine building & 2CV chassis changes as well as a wide selection of music including some local bands playing which went down well. Anyway I'm getting shouted at that it's my round so I'd better get back to my hol, Salut!

Whilst we're away George & Craig are back on board, working Alton for the first weekend of the month. So a big thank you to them for enabling us to get away.

Alton's Schedule for Aug 2013 is as follows;-).

Sat 3rd - Sun 4th: Oakgrove (Br49 Macc) to Bugsworth & Whaley Bridge via Marple
Tues 5th: Whaley Bridge to Oakgrove (Br49 Macc)

Out on a Lymm & Alton's Schedule July 2013

We might have had to miss out on one of our favourite events, Middlewich Folk & Boat Festival but we were determined to get up & running for Lymm Transport Festival. We just about made it having suffered a few teething problems with the new engine on route, thanks again to Tim Leech for his help before, during & after the Lymm event. Anyway it was well worth the effort, Lymm was a lovely festival, one of the highlights from the boating point of view was the wideboats Severn (L&L short boat) & the West Country Keel Pauline. It was a lovely weekend with a great atmosphere. There was all kinds of transport from bicycles to horse drawn milkfloats, Citroen 2CV's to Ford F100 pick ups as well as some tractors & agricultural machinery. On Sunday afternoon there was a parade of boats which I had fun doing an informal commentary to the crowd on the bank around Alton.

Petter Problems - Alton gets a new PD2M

Things didn't quite go to plan for us last month. We had a good run down to Etruria & a lovely weekend at the rally catching up with old friends & making new ones. Then it was going to be a case of boating back up to Whaley Bridge for our regular round & straight back down to Middlewich Folk & Boat Festival. However on our way back from Whaley Alton's Petter PD2M started making a horrible clattering/knocking noise.

We tied up at Marple and Jim Ling, Tim Leech & Charles Mills all came to pronounce the death sentence on the engine! It looks like a big end had gone. We borrowed a boat to tow Alton back to Oakgove which Ann Marie said was her worst days boating ever ;-) ! Back at base our good mate Paul Dawson set too with the spanners, he's been an absolute star as usual. We hunted for a replacement engine & found a couple. Steve Priest had an engine that had been rebuilt but need re-assembling, he worked wonders & had the engine finished by Sunday ready for us too collect. It was good fun getting it into the van! Monday saw us at Stafford Coal Yard to unload the engine & use their forklift to help assemble the engine & box, before using the Hiab to crane them back into Alton. The following day Paul & Tim, completed the installation, making sure the engine was carefully aligned. So all in all, back up & running in a week wasn't bad.

Finally huge thanks to everyone who helped us including George Boyle, Pete Sharp, Jim Ling, Tim Leech, Charles Mills, Steve Priest, Dennis Wellburn & most of all Paul Dawson. The offers of help, advice & support were wonderful, it really is a great community on the cut!

Steamy Celebrations on the Weaver

Well as usual we've kept ourselves busy throughout the merry month of May and that old saying "Ne'er cast a clout till May be out" proved true again. The bad weather has certainly helped our coal sales keep ticking over.

Over the weekend of 18/19th May we were invited to attend the Steam Tug Kearne's 100th Birthday Celebrations at Acton Bridge and what a great weekend it was! We were made to feel very welcome & got a full guided tour of Kerne, from down in the boiler room & engine room through to the Captains cabin & up to the wheelhouse, what a magnificent vessel. Kerne was joined by quite a few steam engines including Steam Roller Old Ernie & Traction Engine Lucy Ashton both also celebrating their 100th Birthdays this year. One of the highlights for us, was for the Traction Engine Fred (restored by Fred Dibnah) & steered by Fred's son Richard coming down to the Weaver to load up it's bunker with coal from Alton's hold, what an honour! It brought a great smile to my face.

Suffice to say a great steamy weekend was had by all, with plenty of nattering & brews of tea during the day & lots more nattering & pints of beer during the night!
