PeterScott Posted June 5, 2021 Report Posted June 5, 2021 This evening 2021 Cooper Bridge C+H/Huddersfield Broad Compare 18Apr2014 (2) 27Mar2013 22Dec2012 7Apr1979/7Apr2010 Safety measures since last visit: Signs discouraging swimming River water level indicators: this was the only weir exit on the C+H without one - and the entrance nearest to a weir. However, could not find the indicator board. "1. Open combination lock" Good plan. The aspiring rescuer can do this if they have a charged mobile phone and they have first "CALL 999 ASK FOR FIRE SERVICE" then "QUOTE LOCATION" and wondered what what3words is all about. Then done the other "1. ENTER CODE" (hopefully twiddling the dials in the dark isn't too difficult as there are only four dials to line up) and "2 PUSH BUTTON TO OPEN". Then there are some pictures to help with steps 2. 3. 6. 7.

Dav and Pen Posted June 7, 2021 Report Posted June 7, 2021 Today in 2017 lots of weed on the Burgundy canal south of Dijon. The weed cutter is kaput above the lock. Some of the lock keepers scoop great piles of the stuff out whilst waiting for boats but others only move it when it stops the gates opening. 1
