Beo

It’s not just on the cut, though. I was once ‘helped’ to change a wheel by a chap who happily told me he’d never changed a wheel before!

I can recommend Steve at Willow Wren.

LadyG’s post is more engaging makes far more sense to me than this ....

Opening the first gate of the first lock up Bosley Locks last year I ended up flat on my backside - some bright spark had spread loose slate chippings around the lock beam.

Good luck with both leg and boiler

I think the main problem is the unwillingness of the vast majority of cyclists to slow down or, God forbid, actually stop and give way to other towpath users. My husband uses a wheelchair and isn’t minded to move into a hedge bottom or onto a muddy verge to get out of the way ... the look of concern on the cyclist’s face is remarkable when they realise they are going to have to be the one to take evasive action! But not a single one has ever stopped, put their feet on the ground and waited for us to pass.

Thank you @Heartland
