Possible Stoppage Llangollen

[ditchcrawler]

We are on the Llangollen and came up through New Martin Top lock  where the bottom gates were leaking badly. CRT were there and suggested that it may require a stoppage tomorrow Wednesday to fix it properly. They had trouble making a level to let a boat down,but when we went up it was not so bad. I did give the offending gate a tap with my rear fender which may have helped it seal for us.

 

NOTE This stoppage has NOT been confirmed.

any new updates on this?

We have relatives on their boat somewhere near Barbridge who are thinking of doing the Llangollen this week.

thanks in advance

We dropped through this lock today and it looks as if the bottom gate has been sorted so they may have fixed it without a closure.

Thanks for the update, in the end they've decided to go up the Middlewich branch and on to the Macclesfield.

We'll be Llangollen-bound ourselves in just over 3 weeks though.
