Lock 10 Atherstone

[tree monkey]

Just a heads up, lock 10 Atherstone closed, just seen the CRT bods, apparently collar bust, which they replaced but a bolt securing it into the concrete is also bust.

 

Likely Monday before they can sort it.

 

That's all I know

You just didnt want your peace disturbing did you, go and put it back.

This is not official but I've just spoken to one of the CRT chaps and it's sorted, I don't know when the locks will actually open all official 

 

To add boats are moving again, so seems like it's officially open again

We will be heading that way tomorrow, just tucked up near the bottom of Curdworth for the night so will pass Delta Queen tomorrow around lunch time. We met about 9 or 10 boats between Fazeley and Alvarcote so the queue will be even longer.
