Jam Ole Run 2008 video

I know, it's a bit old, but I've only recently uploaded the full video to YouTube (it was available elsewhere).

 

It comes in two videos - a titles/trailer video, and the rest of the full length movie. The following is a link to the playlist:

which includes both videos. Enjoy!

Nice videos

 

Pity you didn't film the bit between Hawkesbury and Newbold as we were heading the other way on Collingwood

Well there's something surprisingly topical given that it was filmed 7 years ago.

 

Study the main video at about the 05:00 minutes mark, (i.e. quite near the beginning)

 

What we have there is a "Large Northwich" boat ("Stanton") in this case, the same type as our "Flamingo", hung on the bottom gates of a Hillmorton lock whilst attempting to descend.

Not the same boat, not the same lock, (but same flight), and it appears to be hung in a subtly different way, not actually involving a protruding hexagonal nut, but it gives a fair insight into why the paddles need to be dropped very quickly if such a situation occurs.

Nasty situation. Did that incident create the dent on the bow?

Not that I am aware, probably hitting cills when fully loaded over the years. The energy has to go somewhere, mine has a similar bend.

That's good to know, but what about Victoria?
