I see that PW has now shot up to no. 6 in the "100 Top Boating Sites" list. It was this that first alerted me that there was something odd although, oddly, the hits registered by them are less than the unique visitors registered by Sitemeter. >BTW what is the situation there? > The story I reported on PW in October was based on information given out to User Group meetings and I have a copy of the email from the area manager to interested local groups. My report is as accurate as the information that the area manager sent out. Maybe one half of BW doesn't know what the other half is saying? http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/news/news2008b.htm#tunnelpassage2 -- Martin Clark Pennine Waterways Website http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk
