I enjoyed watching that! Copperkins, which we had a share in, was there with Peter and Elaine Scot on board and we did it a couple of years later. The 1998 trip was on its way to the IWA Festival in Salford keys and the 200 trip was to take p[art in a Broken Cross rally where there were some boats on the Weaver and some on the T & M canal. The lift wasn't yet reopened. My memory was 8 narrow boats side by side and about the same lengthwise. We always seemed to be next to the lock wall and it was some distance to throw a rope up! Ours had a monkey paw on the end then a length of thin rope then the proper mooring rope.
