@foxy2856 Well done! From zero locks in weeks to 39 locks in just 2 days! Have a great, restful winter! ⭐

@foxy2856 @CRTBoating Brilliant!!! Good luck down the hill!
You left 2 rainbows behind you..... Lovely elements today.
Well done 🛶💨

🔥🦔 Bonfire Night Reminder! 🦔🔥

Hedgehogs don’t run from danger — their defence is to curl into a ball. A woodpile looks like a safe, cosy shelter to them.
👉 Please move your bonfire on the day you light it to make sure no hedgehogs are hiding inside.

@foxy2856 @CRTBoating How long did it take you? Wondering whether to go down tomorrow, Sunday morning, or Monday 🤔

[Dawn @Aurora]

@NBMorning_Star It's going to be like wacky races anyway. There's been lots of boats budging up for a week. We have a 10 day window. Ready, steady, go! 😁

[Dawn @Aurora]

@foxy2856 I thought I recognised your boat name when you went past! Who'd have thought, eh!? I hope you and Eric make it past Wheelock ok, and watch out for those deep sea trawlers out there! 😅🙏🏻😂

[Dawn @Aurora]

@nb_Snowgoose @NABO_Official We have a couple of CB radios we can loan them! 😁

[Dawn @Aurora]

If this was in London would the loss of water gain greater attention?

@theoldbloke @nb_Snowgoose Let's hope they don't need to start planking up sections like they have here on the Macc, meaning we won't be able to travel for water 😑

[Dawn @Aurora]

@NBMorning_Star It looks like it's possible to use the canal as a free dry dock in parts, and get some blacking done!
Seriously though, pretty drastic state!

@rainbowlollies A bit late now, but wherever I'm going through a tunnel on the boat, I always like to play Break On Through by The Doors 😁

@nb_Snowgoose @WoodyBrewer2011 I was just about to ask who Daniel was! 🤣

[Dawn @Aurora]

@CanalRiverTrust I should imagine there'll be more work coming to clear all the extra green growth caused by no boat movement too 😬 Thanks, and for mentioning the background work going on too. 🌟

[Dawn @Aurora]

@nb_Snowgoose Also, if you can't swim, don't cycle next to water with your feet strapped into your pedals!!! 🤔

[Dawn @Aurora]

@nb_Snowgoose No regulations, just the Towpath Code.

Cyclist was going far too fast, but it's a shame the pedestrian assaulted her, even though it has helped to highlight this common nationwide problem of cyclists going far too fast.
She'll be stuck to using a car now

@ladbible https://t.co/UaSah5cxpD

Towpath code (not law), pedestrians. But it was a physical attack by the pedestrian. Both were in the wrong. Simple.

[Dawn @Aurora]

@harleeberetta @ladbible This used to be the case but not any more

[Dawn @Aurora]

@NarrowboatOld I miss doing locks!

How can we push the planet closer to the brink?

I know! Let’s open up 300 million acres of intact tropical forest and vital gorilla habitat—some of the most biodiverse and carbon-rich ecosystems on the planet—to oil and gas development.
That should do it.
