Filance has always been on the narrow side. I recall that Ed Mortimer around 20 years ago got Auriga stuck in it!! Later the same year we got her stuck leaving Camp Hill top lock. That was not easy to reslove as there is nothing to attach a winch to.

AURIGA got stuck at Booth Lane on the T&M going down into Middlewich a couple of years or so back with Rick Cooper. I was told that she was eventually pulled through by Drew Burge on Bolinder powered GREYHOUND, and a Land Rover too!

I'm understand that the sacrificial chines might be a bit generous.
