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.
