tree monkey 2381 Report post #1 Posted July 4 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ditchcrawler 1538 Report post #15 Posted July 6 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
