Just going down the Rochdale canal from Todmorden, across the the summit and currently at Smithy Bridge. The canal side moorings are poor because there is so little water and the sides have collapsed in many places, so large sections if stone are stopping our options to moor. Also the silt build-up is causing problems with grounding all the way along. Great views, lovely to travel along the canal but sorry to say that condition of locks is poor. Mooring really is difficult and there are very few services long the way! As an example at lock 48, the ratchet on the one top-side working paddle has come apart! #CRTMaintenance #CRTHelp #CRTCanalNeedsLove
