I can't understand a mass exodus taking place when Buckby locks are closed until Monday though. If you do hear of any boat getting through there this weekend then I would be very interested to know about it. Just going to mail Ubique to see if they know! Cheers Mike Thanks Nick.

A man after my own mind :-) I have exactly the same picture. Tried to get someone from the vast workforce at Kingswood junction to agree that the sign was wrong and should come off, to no avail. So complained via email to West Midlands office on Friday evening. I was tempted to send a link to this blog when I read it, but decided I should leave that to you. Also remarked to BW that with all the glossy posters in their noticeboards there isn't a single stoppage notice on the N Stratford warning boaters (yes, boaters) about the S Stratford stoppages and not everyone has the Internet.
