Cruised to Great Linford today, early. It was already quite hot at 8am, so set off before it got uncomfortable.

Water levels are down by at least a foot, we desperately need some rain.

Quite awkward cruising as the offside vegetation is way out of control, and starting to effect the ability to moor along the towpath. Of course, when boats are moored, the offside and silt make life somewhat difficult.

Canal and River Trust however are more interested in implementing 48hr moorings to replace the 14 day ones, then of course taking the opportunity to spend yet more cash on shiny blue signs. 

Naturally, the neglect of controlling offside vegetation will force people to the 48hr moorings whereby CRT will then have yet again successfully developed a problem to solve, yet again.

Bloody shambolic organisation, with clueless staff.
