    It's similar with the drawings that I do at work, letter issues are provisional & I can go through quite a few lettesr before it gets to issue 1 released for construction & even then it still changes.

    Watch out for the wasps as well, camping there one year they invaded as soon as the tent was opened in the morning, Scottish friends jokingly said their wasps attacked in squadrons.

    Don't let the weather put you off, Castle Urquhart in the rain, the spray caused by the heavy rain on the Loch made the rainbow.

    There's nothing at all wrong with that song by Smokie, but the audience is suspect, and you can thank Chubby Brown for that.

    A long time since I did the Caldon, the boat I'd hired I didn't trust going through Froghall tunnel so mored up by the works and walked.

    I had heard qouted from historians that they knew building of the Caledonian canal was too late for it's original purpose but it was continued to keep the workforce going.

    Yes definately for the public not for nerds, the Ellesmere (Langollen) canal history was a tad off as well.

    We seem to have a new canal engineer though, anyone else heard of John Brindley, maybe James twin?

    For a while I had in my possession the drawings for Watford locks, they where absolute works of art with shadows shown, and the grain in the wood. Had to give them back to BW in the end though.

    Also the Wey & Arun canal trust have built locks recently
  20. Chris Lowe
    The narrows of that lock are still there, maybe an inspecion on the ground is required.

    Watched a recent episode of Trucking Hell where one of Crouchs rescue rigs was used to tow a boat off the river bank were it had been stranded by flooding. Two guys in a boat I presume RCR took the tow cable across the river. It worked.
