Hi all. Hope you are well.. Just a reminder that Derek is still delivering by van on the L and L and the Lancaster canal. The boat is still up for sale, there are a couple of prospective buyers but as yet there is nothing settled. Ambush has not been advertised anywhere except on here. If you or anyone you know would be interested in buying Ambush ( just the boat not the business) please get in touch with Derek to discuss it privately. Once the boat is sold it will be the end of an erra for Derek who has been working on the canals for 70 + years. Ambush is currently tied up at Crooke and will not be moving again until sold.
PLEASE NOTE.. Ambush is a restoration project and needs a lot of work, she is movable and water tight.
Once again any interest or enquiries please contact Derek privately.

Hi everyone 👋 hope you are well 😀.. This is an update on Derek's health.. When he was attending the ENT Department for the cancer on his ear they also did a few scans of his head and neck, when he attended the ENT clinic yesterday he was told he had 90% stenosis in his artery and they had done an urgent referral to the vascular surgeons at Manchester Royal Infirmary. He is now waiting for an appointment to see them. His surgery on his ear is on the 22nd of April.. All this being said.. He desperately needs help at the boat to fill drums and carry them to the van, also coal and gas.. Please bear with him at this time he is extremely tired and not well, the orders will be filled but it will be as and when he is able .. If anyone can help please ring or text him.. Thank you for your help and understanding at this very difficult time 👋

Hi everyone 👋 hope you are well 😀.. Due to Derek's on going health problems, he is having to cut back on the deliveries. So deliveries will only be on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday unless it's an emergency.
Also due to his health issues he will be putting Ambush and the business up for sale. So if anyone is interested or knows someone who might be interested please contact Derek privately and not on here.
Thank you for your support and understanding 😀👋
