Rochdale canal is finally open, We've moved up through Tuel Deep to Mytholmroyd, paired up with Socks/Lady G/Jo.
The one lock that is to narrow for two boats had one top paddle broken and quite a spurt in the bottom gate mitre, struggling to fill the last bit!
I remembered reading of a technique, stick the long shaft down the mitre once in the lock, it blocks the hole. I did wonder if we would have to drain the lock once out, to release the pole, but no, a bit of a tug and it floated up. Check out the before and after pics, middle.pic shows long shaft up the mitre.
