South Oxford Nell bridge not passable by anything other than very low cabin boats due to the cherwell being a bit damp. Just sayin like. Its probably on the CART website but I couldnt find it.

Fair enough. Please be advised though, the proper format is C&RT,not CART.

 

Thankyou

Sticking my neck out - does CRT(or even CaRT) pehaps think the level gauges are sufficient information to allow boaters to make their own judgement.

Thise downstream of the lock are clealy visible, but where is the one at Nell Bridge - methinks it's buried in the tunnel under the road, or otherwise awkward to read - if so perhaps that needs attention.

Otherwise it's the old rule of Caveat Emptor that applies. After all everyone knows there's been an awful lot of rain around and perhaps due diligence should be applied in the few cases where canals have too much water....

That's not really an answer.  The CRT stoppages page is mainly used to plan a route in advance.  Anyone who's travelling the Oxford for the first time would expect the stoppages page to give them notice to rearrange their route, not to spend all day heading to an impassable bridge and have to turn round and go all the way back.

Hey is there still ringing practice on Monday nights at Cropredy? 

 

I've been there twice on a Monday night this summer and both times tower church was all locked up and quiet. Was I just unlucky?

Just bumped this thread to say I will go check levels later in case anyone is thinking of coming this way ?

What a nice man you are 'uncle Tim'  (apart from the regulars), this forum could do with more.....
