Thank you both for your concern.  Its awesome, but we are all safely secured to the floating pontoons, which rise with the water level.  Jan, the walking here is great for dogs.  no problem getting off.  As we have all said, if we are going to be stranded anywhere, what better place. All facilities( well not pump out.!)  but there are loos, showers, etc.


Lockie says that the water level has peaked, so as long as it doesn't heave down in the Derbyshire Peaks, we may be able to move about wednesday.

A narrowboat did leave today, as they said they HAD to get to Kings Lock, as she was working tomorrow, but they had a real struggle up the rive, and then they will have to contend with a the run off further around.  However, a cruiser here has left his VHF radio on( I think we may invest in one), and said that if he hears they are in trouble, he will try and get to them.  Sterling Bloke,

Struggling to do an ASDA drop at the moment. its making me say GRHHHHH  quite a lot,.
