Dav and Pen Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Today in 1985 we wrapped up warm and took Crane from Watford gap to Braunston. We had a potential buyer and he had a surveyor lined up. Once we got round Norton junction the ice on the summit was fairly strong but at least it’s straight, it turns that cause problems. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it wasn't too deep that morning (this day 2013 Streethay Wharf Coventry Canal) and memory is insufficient to recall the contents of the package by the doors. Having reversed-in to the mooring, walking along the gunwales to unlock front doors wasn't as much fun as it might have been. Now have a lock/key for the back doors. Still snowing here in Sheffield.

On 15/06/2020 at 12:04, Athy said: Not really: the one furthest from the camera would have moored first, then the one second furthest, and so on. They would have had no obstructions. But now, for the ones further away to get out, all the boats between them and the camera would need to move - a highly unlikely occurrence.

PeterScott Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 This morning 2021 Rivelin Canal, even more picturesque a navigation, had it progressed beyond an 1826 plan. Compare #4095 (2020) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Liley Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 It was around this time of year that a group of friends and I brought a Calder & Hebble barge from the Thames to a mooring at Lisson Grove on the Regent's Canal - a journey interrupted by ice, then getting stuck in the Maida Hill Tunnel. A bulge in the roof coincided with that battlement structure on the bow. Flooding the bilges got us out, but first we had to lug heavy things forward, including a horrible old anchor, to get the right tilt. And there wasn't much room up there. As in many tunnels a million smoking chimneys had passed through before us, and an equal number of spider's webs had collected the soot. There had been an important function at the Earls Court Boat Show beforehand, and some of us were wearing suits. Mine had lines across it like the leading of a vestry window when we emerged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare #4095 (2020) With a tunnel over four miles long? That would have been popular with boat crews. I must admit I'd forgotten about the Rivelin Dams.
