Last time I passed by on my bike at about 6am, I stopped and tried to lift it from the towpath side. I found I just about could.

Surprised that you would carry a pole long and strong enough - my recollection is that it would have needed something more substantial than the conventional Banbury Stick.

It's a 4m\13ft aluminium tube with a double hook on the end. Useful further south on the Oxford, when the bridge decks are wet, and won't stay open. Also for swing bridges, and the bottom gates on the Northampton flight where there are no footplates.
