A lovely sunny but breezy morning saw us taking our time back along Maud Foster drain, waving to lots of passers by. On reaching the lock, I decided to come alongside the lock and tie up, so Liana could disembark safely. A pontoon and steps would help here. Also, the metal fence needs modifying, so boaters can get to the steps to cross the bridge more easily.
It was very windy, so I could not hang about, and turned under the bridge, where I spotted two or three rings on the near side, and tied up. However it was a precarious scramble down the steep bank onto the concrete under the bridge. The boathook was helpful to keep balance. On a calm day I would have edged back to the bottom gate, probably. Again, a floating pontoon and steps are needed, really. I guess these will be resolved when EA and CRT waterways become one, hopefully.
