Had notification today to say that bridge will be lifted at 1400 on Monday for any boat that wants to escape being trapped. It will only be open for short time so you need to be there at that time.

There is a water tap where the old services were at the very end of the Macclesfield. We used it today and the pressure was loads better than it used to be. Didn’t see any bins in the area and heaven knows what cassette toileters are supposed to do?!? With bridge 24 being blocked, it’s a long way back to the Bosley services 🤷‍♂️

On arrived this lunchtime 🤣

Sorry glasses on now- Bosley

Arrived at Bodley bottom lock this morning. Padlocked, didn’t realise there was still restricted opening. Nice peaceful mooring 🤷‍♂️🤣

Everything seems to be in order, it’s just not pumping the water🤷‍♂️

Does anyone know if they’re still doing blackings here? Had no response from number on Google search. If not does anyone have anywhere else in vicinity that I should try? cheers as always

Yes they appear to be, kind of click open and close. Trying to put it all back in the cupboard I need a 30% version of me with more dexterity 🤣

It has worked for at leat 5 years! I think the non return valves are within the bottom section

Cheers. Came from middlewich and off up the Macclesfield!

Thanks Goliath, will give that a try 👍

Any ideas anyone? Nothing appeared to be blocking bottom black sections

Not investigated fully gulper yet. It’s making a whirry sound but not pumping out. Suppose these things have a shelf life before breaking. Is it usually a straight swap? Not quite. On Trent and Mersey near end off Macclesfield ( in Kidsgrove) normally really good services. How long they’ve been closed for- don’t know

Bins are available but no showers, Elsan or toikets 😰

Sorry don’t know. The cupboard by the canal is there- wether it’s working🤷‍♂️
