I think there's a long way to go. I've been monitoring Bosley resevoir. C&RT considered it "empty" when it was six metres down in July.
It is currently recovering and was at five metres down last week. Water is being drawn off to enter the Macc above Bosley locks.
The profile of the resevoir floor is very much shallow dish shaped so it will take quite a while to get back to normal.
Black Prince spray paint. I saw their new boats complete with overspray on the gunnels a couple of years ago at the bottom of Tardebigge.
The paint shed at Anderton were spraying last time I was interested in a new coat of paint.
The policy of reducing waterside moorings when a new marina is built was abandoned a few years ago.
The empty moorings might be due to the substantial increases that have been introduced lately.
I had a look on Monday. It looks close to being finished. There's a lot of landscaping going on. No obvious sign that the water level is rising yet. The reservoir floor is covered in Silver Birch saplings.
I also had a look at Bosley reservoir. Their was a small amount of water coming in and a similar amount being pumped out to the summit pound. It's still six meters down on normal levels.
I hope you have a better journey from now on. Hopefully it will cause someone to have a look at our pound too. I can't believe all the water is going down to Alrewas.
We've got fifty boats at the club at Huddlesford Junction and they are all on the bottom. The level has dropped steadily for at least a week. but it's difficult to see where the water is going to come from to recover the situation unless Minworth is opened up.
