We're off on a short trip from Brentford to Godalming (River Wey) and I find myself chucking my shockingly strong magnet in. Found this little beauty above Brentford Thames locks. I have two other kebs but space for another one ! will update picture when I manage to upload it!

When you find a source of decent long handles let us know. Need a decent (14ft) handle for mine.
