I have, and on your 'patch', as it happens. A friend of mine (now deceased) used to keep his boat in the Stinkhole (excuse me, Maple Lodge Basin), and while his wife had difficulty walking due to a leg ulcer, he used a wheelchair to transport her to and fro along the towpath from Coppermill Lock to the mooring. It's not a common occurrence, though. Dorothy
