Whatever suits, the problem is making sure he's there with a 2nd 'home'. Otherwise you just piss off any moorers!

What moorers?

There’s no one left there is there?

Hmmm, yes.

I'd heard talk of this too.

Apparently he wanted to stop use of the lock after 5pm.

 

He sounds like a really nice bloke.

(NOT!)

 

And a good argument against second 'home' owners.

The (non-CRT, but clearly regular) volunteer who appeared and helped me down Tyrley locks was great. Mostly went ahead and set locks rather than interfering with my routine. Reducing the bywash flow by letting water through the paddles isn't something I'd have done, but does seem to work...

 

If its the same one I met there he is a boater and does it for the exercise
