    Philip Duerden's site is the place to go for share ownership https://www.boatshare.co.uk/

    I singlehanded the Thames from Oxford up to Lechlade and back down to Brentford a few years ago (with a diversion up the Wey) and found it all very pleasant, except very early one morning at a lock when the electricity ('public power') hadn't been yet turned on. But it was summer, and the river was very gentle, and my boat was small and easily handled. TBH, I have found the Yorkshire Ouse and the Trent much more difficult when singlehanding.

    Just make sure that you can evacuate the boat for half an hour when the stove is lit after using it. It produces some of the most noxious fumes I have ever experienced. OK once cured.

    Reading the original article, it says that they have spent their time continuously cruising the River Lea and Regents Canal, so if the pic is of their boat while they had it, then all these other places seem unlikely. I've looked at my pics and others online of Lea (and Stort) locks, but can't find any revealing metal piled sides, although the lockside structures of some look similar

    What exactly does the CRT Council do? Does it have any powers? I remember lending my name to Dave Mayall's candidacy several years ago.

    That must be a really useful piece of equipment. I wish I'd had one of those.

    Did you see him fall in?

    Well, unless the OP is wandering along in the black dark, presumably he has already decided where to moor in MK!

    Are the C&H flood locks open again, then?

    That would be Jimmy Turnbull & his wife Helen. He is universally known as Jimmy the Rabbit round here, having owned an excavation company.
