Tomorrow: Harecastle Tunnel.
A boat featured which appeared to be called Stolen Time. Didn't Greg
used to have a hand in that?

Damn! Yes! Had a share in that one between Oct 2001 and Feb 2003, I think
it was.
Managed to miss that episode, though I did see most of the items on the days
they covered Wedgwood and the Middlewich Litter pickers.
I've still got vague ambitions on getting the Stolen Time pages linked back
to my "Boating Biography" page - but currently maintenance of the Waterways
Guides site is distinctly pear-shaped. Any volunteers to give a hand? I
don't want to give it up, but I don't want to see it disappear either.

only one way back, and that's to pull it." (more or less the exact
words)
It's nice to hear an expert talking.

That was Adam, the presenter.
The Claymoore boat gave Middlewich Big Lock bottom gate a good wallop!

could be reversed. Mind you, the way the boat whacked the gate when
coming out of Big Lock, I shouldn't really be surprised.

And then whilst supposedly heading north up the T&M, they then magically
visited the British Salt works!
