Would that be a Pat Buckle build?

His lorry behind the boat looks interesting.

Tring Reservoir and Summit were very low in April 2012

 

 

Similar to the fishermen in your photo I was stood in the bottom of the reservoir to take that one of Saddington, at the time the outflow weir to the canal feeder must have been 15 feet above my head.

Guards intermittently welded top and bottom. I bet they don't have those same smooth flowing lines 26 years later!

Still some clear water under the bridge for swans and ducks

Tower Bridge River Thames - in a plastic bag

[John Liley]

In the lands of big skies. You can be in one waterway and something comes trundling past on another. The big freighter was in the Ketelmeer, on the eastern side of the Ijsselmeer. The other shot was somewhere near Dordrecht. The towers in the background are on a barge under tow.

[Athy]

It can happen on the Oxford summit, though in that case it turns out to be the same waterway.

Pat Buckle at IWA rally at Autherley Junction in August 2008, then on the Calcutt Boats display stand.

 

Odyssey was indeed built by the PatBuckle boatyard at Stibbington for Ownerships to sell on to the happy band of owners inside the shell in the earlier post.

December 2007, and Bingley 3-rise was being repaired. The main work was reflooring the wooden lock bottom on the lowest lock. In the photo, the middle lock has had a concrete floor put in at an earlier date, and the top lock has its original stone invert.
