    Thanks for your reply. We're actually filming. Does this mean Wigan Pier is covered in scaffold?

    Hi we're passing through Wigan later in the week travelling from the Leigh branch and heading towards Liverpool. Is Wigan worth a look and where's best to moor up? Can you moor up near Wigan Pier and if so is it safe? Thanks!

    who were the reservoirs sold off to? did the regional water authorities buy them?

    Hi we're passing through later this week. I've been told it's an area to watch out - by other boaters. Scare stories or any truth in this? Thanks

    Each of the locks featured in the programme will be named and it's rise will appear on screen. Thought it'd be of interest to viewers.

    Alan, I'm producing a new BBC4 series called Canal Boat Diaries. Any idea where I get further information then on lock depths for the Rochdale? Is canal plan ac accurate for other parts of the system - as I've been using this source.

    Can anyone help. I usually use Canal Plan AC for things like this - however there's no stats for the fall of: Stubbing Upper Lock Todmorden Guillotine Lock Gauxholme Lowest Lock Are the Rochdale lock depths listed anywhere? Any help much appreciated.

    I'm wanting to film with a drone from the best vantage points along the Rochdale. It's a canal I've never cruised. Could you suggest the best bits with dramatic landscapes? Lock or bridge numbers would be really helpful. It's for a new BBC4 series called 'Narrowboat Diaries' which will be on later in the year. Many thanks !

    The pump out at Slaithwaite is out of order. I'm heading towards Huddersfield - where's the next facilities and is it working? Many thanks.
  16. larrysanders
    Yes - most likely Aston Lock as the same thing happened to me some years back. I was single handed and didn't see what was going on to my boat as the line of sight is blocked by a bridge. I'm very cautious going through Aston, Weston, Swarkestone and Stenson.

    still seems very tight even for working narrowboats compared to other tunnels.
  18. larrysanders
    any idea on why this tunnel was built so low? have water levels gone up slightly since it was built or was it always like this?
  19. larrysanders
    wow that looks tight thanks for the pics - great to see. i thought it was strange when i got to froghall wharf and it was empty - in such a lovely place.
  20. larrysanders
    that's fine ours is only 42. i think the main issue will be the solar panels. thanks for the reply
  21. larrysanders
    can you remember if there is a winding spot near the tunnel if you decide against?
  22. larrysanders
    We're planning on going up the Caldon to Froghall Wharf this summer. So I had a look round the wharf today and it was empty - no boaters in sight! I see the tunnel is 5ft by 5ft max so it's going to be tight - therefore has anyone been through with their boat and had any issues?
