It was my first trip on the Trent, tidal or otherwise, and it was a great experience. Between Arthur and myself, we even managed to get Python in to the lock without the help of the brick walls preserving all that lovely paint. Perhaps the most difficult bit of the journey starts now, getting Python up to its new home at Shireoaks. -- David Morris blog: http://www.brassedoff.net/wp
