Huddersfield lock 5E paddle failure

The offside  head paddle of Lock 5 has failed, therefore the lock cannot be emptied and passage is not possible. The local team is currently assessing the issue and we will update this notice when we have further information.

 

Aaaaaaaagh. I was just about to start a trip from the Calder & Hebble through to the Shropshire Union. With lock 49 on the Rochdale out of action due to a blown cill (see here) and the repairs at Burnley going into mid June we currently have no open cross Pennine routes. My wife will not countenance the Tidal Trent, so I hope it is sorted soon, I will just have to start out and hope it is sorted quickly.

After last years fiasco this really is the limit isn't it. 

 

We've spent a lot of time on the northern canals but it's got to a stage now where I won't bother because the risk of getting stuck is too great.  I know this could happen anywhere but the northern routes do seem to be particularly accident prone these days.

The Rochdale will likely be fixed very quickly, although some contractors are used CRT still have a good team of their own staff in those parts, and they know what they are doing. Also, stranding all those working boats would be a serious embarrassment.

Failed paddle should only take one day
