@CRTWestMidlands off side bottom paddle on Farmers Bridge lock 4 is very stiff and slipping on its ratchet, impossible to fully raise

We enjoyed curry with a view last night. And the #BCNChallenge results came in while we were eating - we came second!

We've been moored up at Hawne Basin for a few hours, enjoying the lovely hospitality. Now that the rain has stopped, everything's looking great!

And we're arrived! Got to Hawne Basin just as the heavens opened and the thunder started.

@CRTBoating Duckling! Because they go eep eep!

[Rebellion Afloat @RebellionAfloat]

We are back! It's #BCNChallenge weekend again!

So far:
1 gosling rescued
1 log trying to thwart us
4 eep eeps sighted
2 cats ignored us

Pleased to announce that our mates The Swans have, in the past 24 hours, brought 2 perfect little clouds into the world

Just passed Atlas and Malus! That makes it somehow feel like official #BCNChallenge time.

@CRTWestMidlands just headed up Farmers Bridge locks and noticed lock 6 bottom tow path side paddle seems to be disconnected.

[Rebellion Afloat @RebellionAfloat]

@CRTContactUs Just to let you know, at Caldon Canal lock 3 the top tow path side paddle is not working, guess it isn’t connected.
Also it seems that there must be a leak from the chamber of lock 2 (top of the staircase) through to the tow path, as the tow path was flooded.

Minion @smudgepuss had an appropriate @AvantiWestCoast train home from @BCNSociety #BCNChallenge today!

Lovely to see so many boats at the finish! Time to enjoy a few beers 🍻

We figured we should probably get last year's plaque up before we get to the finish this year...
