Dave Payne Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Sure I read it's going to be closed for two months over the winter also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchcrawler Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Open but stiff is I think what they meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1uk Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 We came through Glascote this morning, and there seemed nothing untoward at all. A still paddle I can understand, but I'm not sure what a stiff gate even means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty40s Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Sure I read it's going to be closed for two months over the winter also. That's how long each Glascote lock takes to fill...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahavfc Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 The collar on the top gate had snapped and the gate couldn't be opened. I reported it to CRT, told them exactly what it was and they were out within half an hour with all the right kit and spares, all sorted and open after an hour and a half: Great job.
