Ho. Hum. Whatever the rights and wrongs there is no way I would dare take a kayak over the Ponypuddleduct for all the cheap electronics in China. I don't do heights. Watched a chap go over on one of those stand on paddle boards things once, now that I wouldn't do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually harder to fall off the aqueduct from a kayak then it is from a narrowboat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for a boozer stern..... I used to go over a lot and became very blasé, walked down the roof many a time, plus sat on the roof on the scary side with legs dangling. I like to think I helped entertain the tourists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one on Facebook. It does not make sense to me, it is a wide tunnel I think, so why would narrowboats need to reverse out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately none are available that I am aware of Apparently there is Japanese news footage of my boat self steering over the bridge, I was having a grumpy day and saw the camera in the field below, so ducked into the cabin until we crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
