Rope ladders are not designed to be climbed the same way as a conventional ladder Unless the bottom of the ladder is secured, you'll just end up 'upside down'. A rope ladder is'climbed' from the side.

I take it that you are aware that the Bridgewater had a major breach and will be closed for transit until December 2026 at the earliest ? The Bridgewater Canal at Little Bollington suffered a major breach on New Year’s Day 2025, with full navigation expected to resume by December 20 Incident Overview The breach occurred at Little Bollington, near Dunham Massey, following significant rainfall and flooding, which caused a section of the canal to collapse. Emergency measures were immediately implemented, including stoplogs and temporary dams, to isolate the affected section and prevent further water loss. Approximately 1.9 miles (3 km) of the canal were drained, and floodwater spilled onto surrounding farmland, prompting temporary closures of public rights of way. Close to Lymm

This year I changed from Craftinsure to Haven Knox Johnson and paid some £150 extra to do so. The reason for the change was that Craftinsure wanted a survey ( at some £1000 inc lift out / in and the survey) whilst HKJ did not. Sometimes you need to look beyond the 'headlines' to get the best deal.
