Those two tunnels on Peter Scotts map would have been quite something. Too expensive to build perhaps ? Not much info on google as far as I can see.

They've probably spent £300k already on feasibility studies and consultants etc. You don't much for a million these days, its only 4 weeks work from footballers.

The bridge over the marina entrance at Welford has indeed been removed, so the towpath does go round the moorings. There was a plan to replace the ladder bridge at Braunston with a wheel chair friendly type - and move the ladder bridge to Welford. But that hasn't happened yet.

Yes that pillar worries me too. Been past it many times and it still looks iffy. I hope it has deep foundations.

On the "Liquid Highway" f/b page on 26/12/20 there this picture of Jean. With the comment " Brilliant photo, we Hired Marriotts craft one time when we were busy, and she towed me down the surrey canal with them. The skipper thought I was one of his hands(Bobby Clements) As he was told Clements Has got two down the Canal " I guess the profile is similar if you ignore the steerers cabin.

Linky no worky.

I'll wait then 😉

More pictures please. Inside and below the waterline.

He played a horse too. Very good make up cos I didn't notice.

If you see the tractor in the background, its probably my brother in law driving. Though it's been dressed up for tv, it's a centuries old barn designed to be draughty. Dom must be frozen solid in his shanty outside.

Sunset over the Trent at Newark.

Good point Athy, but I ddin't have a local contact then ! 😉
