Water levels are looking fairly positive.

The centralised watter wasters started with a full reservoir system last year, but in several areas had still managed to tip it all away by mid-August.  Unless CRT change the way the water is controlled I have no doubt they will be able to do that again.

 

A cynic might say that is a CRT aim, since it eliminates boat movements and provides an excuse for ignoring the CM problem.

Me reckons lots of the wet stuff to come. After this unusual weather. Fantastic cruising conditions. 'T' shirt weather.

I think you could be right. We can't be treated to two back to back sunny summers.

We came past Tardebigge a couple of weeks ago.  Full to the brim.

But surely not!

 

After all, last year they emptied most of the upper pound of the PF/Macc onto the playing fields in Bollington, when the temporary repair failed again.

 

After they made another temporary repair, they said that a permanent repair would follow, and over the winter they have.....

 

Oh yeah, that's right, they haven't done a permanent repair, so it will probably happen all over again come May.

Last week of May I reckon ... The day after Marple flight reopens.
