I have just returned from a fortnight's cruise from Anderton to
Chester and then on the river Weaver (may post a small report later).
However whilst ascending Northgate locks in Chester (a wide staircase)
I was gently takien to task by a local BW man who said I was doing it
wrong.
The scene was that a crew of 3 (one of whom was 91 and so was kept
well out of the way) and then self and wife. Wife was operating
paddles and I was holding boat on ropes (round bollards naturally). BW
man told me I should have been on the boat holding it still with the
engine (this is one narrow boat in a wide lock)- I'm afraid I carried
on holding the boat with ropes whilst the lock was filled gently,
Discuss.
