Hello Smelly! Are you still in those there parts? Thought you had moved. We would have said ‘Hello’ if we’d known. We’re one of 3 boats below the Weir Lock. Water went up overnight, now at top of the red. I can think of worser places to be stuck, it’s quite pleasant here. Bu99er all phone signal though. Towpath under about a foot of water just south due to run off from field. ETA A boat came through heading South just gone 10pm last night. Don’t know if he was very brave, very stupid or both.

We've just come off the Thames and would agree with this. Doesn't excuse the NB's behaviour though.

Better still stand against a wall and proudly be shot!

I've been wondering if there is a map as well. It says there is on the website but I can't seem to find it

Yes. I was wondering if any of the bastards got a dunking. We have a new kitten. We are getting him used to life on the boat. What might have happened if he was on the towpath when those, ahem, sportsmen/women came riding along? I'm reminded of the old gag.....What has four legs and a < COUGH > halfway along it's back?

OK. Was it Asda? It was a supermarket off some sort, anyway!

Yeahbut....... Its dead handy for a quick Morrisons shop. We stopped there briefy earlier this year. And boats mooring, or not mooring, there has nothing to do with people falling in. Its a seperate argument. ETA That is not to say the visitor moorings aren't good. They are. A super sucky pump out, well two off actually, and FREE too!

I hope this isn't another 'Manchester lock' thing.

But have you lived beyond the age of 27?

Oops. Misread the post. Sorry.

Yes. Great pics. Thanks for posting. Looks like you had a fun cruise and the weather for it too. The ferries from the IoW to that there gurt north island are using that magnetic docking system too. I'm not sure what you mean about the 'old' ferries at Woolwich though. I'm so old I can remember the steam paddlers! (Well, just about)

With washers?
