HALSALL'S FEBRUARY '25 SCHEDULE
Last months fuel run, was one of our most challenging trips ever, battling snow, then thick ice, finally defeated by over running stoppages from CRT. All the team were totally exhausted from both working Fuel boat Halsall & supporting with road deliveries. We're posting this as Storm Eowyn is battering us.... so that may effect our plans too! So once again, (5th attempt!), we're going to try the challenge of circumnavigating the Four Counties Ring, there's a stoppage beginning early Feb at Lock 57 on the CheshireLocks & we're hoping that Woodseaves cutting will reopen next week, so plan to work around those...... wish us luck, we'll need it!
Our aim for a February 2025 schedule is as follows:-
25th -28th Jan: Northwich area to Middlewich (loading 27th at Anderton) including Park Farm & Oakwoods Marinas
29th - 30th Jan: Wheelock & Hardingswood Jn (Lk 57 stoppage begins 3rd Feb)
31st Jan - 1st Feb: Stoke, Stone, Great Haywood, Penkridge (Star Lock 27, Stone stoppage ends 31st Jan)
2nd - 5th: Gailey, Autherly, Wheaton Aston & Norbury to Tyrley (hopefully Woodseaves cutting may be open by Wed 29th Jan)
6th - 8th: Market Drayton, Audlem, Nantwich to Barbridge
( Beeston,Tattenhall to Christleton, Chester & Ellesmere Port will be delivered by road)
9th: Middlewich (across the branch)
10th - 13th: Northwich area including Anderton, Park Farm & Oakwoods Marinas
Road deliveries (Four Counties area) :-
River Weaver 1st /2nd Feb
Calverley, Beeston, Tattenhall, Chester & Ellesmere Port 3rd/6th
River Weaver 13/14th.
As you can see this is a tough schedule to hit, so please help us by pre-ordering when possible & by being patient if our plan slips a bit, as always, it's not exact as it can vary due to stoppages, customer demand, weather conditions, falling trees, landslides, & our unending patience with CRT communications! To place an order please text us on 07491 149149. Cheers, Team Halsall, Rachel, Ian & Finn
