Well the bridge was moved today by a humungous crane, everyone got past who wanted to. Then they put it back. I don't think anyone fell in and I hope nobody fell out (with each other)

 

Thanks to a team of cart volunteers we were all whisked through town lock in good style. David

Oops sorry. Must try harder!

Thats fine!

 

But your right, what a humungus crane it was, to my mind, well over killed

 

But I'm through and so is everyone that wanted to be!

 

And yes, well done CART. Every boat was chatted too in a very friendly way whilst waiting their turn. The banter was wonderfull and i believe that every one was happy, with the exeption of the first boat West Bound who gave, very loudly, his complete selection of expletives towards the Cart manpower, much to the crowds annoyance and disgust, which marked him out to be a complete and utter Tos..r!

 

A good job well done!
