JDR Posted May 19, 2013 Report Posted May 19, 2013 Lock out of action since 11:00am today.One of the top gates currently hanging at 15deg C&RT aware and dealing tomorrow apparently.
JDR Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Posted May 19, 2013 This is the first lock heading W out of Newbury.
JDR Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Posted May 20, 2013 C&RT dealing but crane access to lock made difficult by narrow lane with tight bend by canal. Might be open for Bank Holiday next weekend if all goes well.
Jigsawged Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks JDR, what a star! AnastasiA "marooned" due to stoppage. Your very kind offer to monitor the situation etc. very much appreciated. Ged
David Mack Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 C&RT dealing but crane access to lock made difficult by narrow lane with tight bend by canal. Might be open for Bank Holiday next weekend if all goes well. I hope they're not going to take a large crane close to the edge along a narrow towpath again...
JDR Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Posted May 22, 2013 Gate reseated, pound refilled, boat afloat. Well done C&RT.
JDR Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Posted May 22, 2013 One day stoppage planned for next Tuesday to complete repair work on top gate.
Jigsawged Posted May 22, 2013 Report Posted May 22, 2013 Well done CART indeed, and well done JDR for giving such valuable assistance, working locks and crewing AnastasiA back to her marina mooring at Newbury. Greatly obliged, Ged
