The unicorn shared the bed, the monkeys had the floor. :D

Last year you didn't want to stop!

Anyway you will have a bed. Just a shame for you it's on the mezzanine immediately above the engine.

Ange, it would be lovely to see you, Dave and Milly. The weather is looking good for the challenge, might need to put some more beer in the fridge.  Getting excited now, the boat is on her way up to the Birmingham level, crew meet ups have been arranged and the bunting is organised.

All sounds too well organized

Pinfold Bridge I assume, can't say that I believe it givent the number of time they have extended the closure.  Why open at 8am on a Sat, and not at 4pm on the Friday anyway?

Can anyone confirm that Brades has actually closed as planned today?

Yes, Pinfold (I did say at the bottom of my post)

Can anyone confirm that the 21 is back open?

21 is not listed on the CRT stoppages page.

I never got a response to my email suggesting they delay closing Brades.

I emailed Ian Lane on the Brades subject, and did get a reply.  Apparently the IWA and BCNS were consulted and they did not think that it would cause any issue for the Challenge.  I guess those asked have never done the Challenge, and it is such a shame that the 50th anniversary event is spoiled by this poor timing given they closed it this morning and could easily have started it a week later.

Particularly as Brades is so close to the end point and would therefore be part of the plans of a lot of crews.
