Low water on GU - not surprised!

[Psycloud]

Recently we've been very low between Stoke Hammond and Fenny Lock and I hear that everywhere up to Tring summit has also had major problems due to pumps not working etc.  A couple of times we've woken up on the bottom of the canal so well done CRT for resolving this and we're all floating nicely.....

Yesterday I went for a walk past Fenny lock (drains into the lowest and longest pound in this area) and the bottom gates were swinging in the breeze and one of the paddles wasn't fully lowered (it's quite stiff and you have to use a minor amount of force to fully close it).  Obviously I closed the gates / paddle as we'd all be on the bottom again this morning and there wasn't any sign of CRT or any notes so I assumed this has been left open by a boater.

It may well have been left up by a boater living on the lower pound who keeps getting woken up on the bottom of the canal..........
