Lift it back on

[Ssscrudddy]

See that's what you get for ramming it, don't be so impatient & slow down!

[matty40s]

Haven't even got in the bottom one yet, and I certainly don't do what you suggest.

[Liam]

Should be sorted fairly quickly with the lads from Norton Junction close at hand.

4Pm reopened.

Hire boat lifted top gate whilst exiting and attempting to load passengers on the front end at the same time.

Bless em!

Same lock about three years ago. Boat going up got bow fender caught under beam and lifted gate out of pintel. Hold up was only for about two hours

This is the roof of the boat that caused yesterday's stoppage, taken last night in Braunston.

63 feet of empty beer bottles on one side, the other side already starting to be filled.

How responsible!

 

At least they didn't end up in the cut

Archetypal booze cruise.

 

On our jaunt to Stoke Bruerne recently a Napton Narrowboat booze cruise boat was entering the same lock as above, the men were kaylied, one fishing whilst stood on the roof of the boat, the helm was busy opening the next beer bottle using his teeth and spat the bottle top into the cut!

 

The women with them, working the locks, were highly embarrassed and kept apologising for their behavior.

I hope they do not crash n smash, all that broken glass would be real H and S issue...
