MANY BOATERS ARE TELLING of their experieces of being stuck on the waterways.
And here's another, Peter Machin, who tells:
We've been stopped from leaving the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal and looks like we'll stuck on here till heavy rain, the CRT are telling us...
This is the first time the Severn has ever been closed so the locals tell me.
The Edward Elgar holiday boat keeps going up and down from Gloucester to Worcester and back going through the closed lock at Gloucester. But that's commercial so that's OK, I've been told...
There is a big lump of weir missing on the Severn which is not holding back enough water on the tidal part of the Severn once the tide goes back out to sea. But CRT are saying it's climate change that's affecting the levels. So as a cc I'm now stuck on 18 miles of canal with no way off it...
