Don't think many people realise the potential dangers of the towpath in winter. Makes one wonder about CRT's promotion of it sometimes.......

Worked up a few locks yesterday where the towpath has always been underwater in the 12 or more years I've passed through.
Shocked to see barriers up this morning announcing the towpath is now closed "due to flooding" .
There was a share boat following me... They seemed extremely perplexed when I opened a bottom paddle for them. Sadly seems few still bother with this old boating etiquette ...
