17Tomodachi Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 A couple of weeks ago Battersea made the trip up the Llangollen Canal (I live alongside Bridge 43, Platt Lane). Very few ex-working boats make the effort, probably due to the beam issue at Hurleston locks and also the reduced draught available towards Llangollen.

Keeping Up Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 A couple of weeks ago Battersea made the trip up the Llangollen Canal (I live alongside Bridge 43, Platt Lane). Very few ex-working boats make the effort, probably due to the beam issue at Hurleston locks and also the reduced draught available towards Llangollen. It'll be interesting to see if N/B "George" makes it through Hurleston in a short while (saw them last week on their way up there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB Alton Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 We met Battersea just passed the big turn on the Buggy Arm this afternoon. Great to see another "Big" boat helping keep the channel clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
