Dire. Glad we were not planning to get back to Sawley that way!

I have heard locally that they were considering completely shutting Foxton from easter.

Came up foxton the other day and no mention of this......water level on summit is good at mo....just below weir level.....think there would be big outcry if foxton shut as well as leics section as would rather upset CanalTime at harboro not to mention us lot at Debdale!!..the opening hours of both Foxton and Watford are very reduced....most traffic is local....Im moored outside Crick Marina at mo and the only other boats moored here are tow Canaltimes.....

 

Cheers
