pearley Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Just received emails to say Factory Locks at Tipton closed from 20 April to 19 May and Aston Flight from 2 May to 12 May as part of summer stoppages. Won't affect BCN Challenge but might upset some people's cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-M Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 There are alternatives that don't cause an increase in timings. I rarely use Factory locks although if they sort the leakage i may use them a bit more. I prefer the old line and last time cut through Brades instead of Factory.

Ashted Locks followed by Garrison Locks is no increase in time over Aston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much, especially as the last couple of times I've used Aston I've had to flush water down. Without any water issues it's only about an hour different.

pearley Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 And I have an aversion to Ashted Tunnel. Either take a lot of stuff off the roof or lower the pound above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
