Stop Press

It looks like we're going to have to turn back and forego the pain of working the Caen Hill Flight. For some time now the pumps at the canal summit have not been working properly and boats have been stranded in a completely dry pound. No. 1 pump has been lifted and sent away for repair and there is thought to be a blockage in No. 2 pump. So they will be lifting that one to have a look.

Neither the captain nor I relish the thought of working our way up to the summit just to find that we can't go further. Or, getting through and finding we can't get back.

Therefore an executive decision has been made and we are going to Stratford instead. Well, that's the plan for today.

Watch this space.
