Milton Keynes Marina

[boatone]

BarryD and Coliholic may soon be able to meet up when British Waterways build a new canal to link Milton Keynes and The grand Union Canal to the Great Ouse.
Wonder how many boats Barry will have had by the time it becomes reality?

ROFL

Big arguements in the local papers about the routing of said canal and marina, also on the width etc... Coliholic will be a sea aquaholic by the time its completed, and I will probably have scared myself silly - and be a ditch crawler.

In the mean time I'm booked on some sailing lessons - and hope to teach short person how to sail on one of the many ex-gravel pits er... water features that abound in Milton Keynes.

Re: Number of boats, put me down for three.

Yes this idea has been floating around for a year or three. Several big hurdles to overcome, not the least of which is that the railway line at Bedford only has 4 ft or so clearance over the river, so maybe only be any good for the narrow boats.

Can just see BarryD in the only V8 powered narrow boat on the river;-)

I'm starting to get worried about you Kev, the buzz cut, piloshed boating shoes, creases in your jeans... Are you turning into a Sgt. Major character? Not thinking of swapping your baseball cap yet are you?

I bought this wicked gadget yesterday. It's a TV tuner that you plug a PC VGA monitor into. Comes with a mains transformer and also runs off 12v. I've got a spare LCD screen so I'm fitting all in the boat. mains or batt Flat screen TV for for a fraction of the normal cost!

They have only just got them back in stock so hurry cause I think they sell fast. I look everywhere for an alternative but this seems to be the only one available
