I was expecting to see a few people in the water with the boat heading off into the distance. they've obviously done that manoeuvre a few times before.

SB, did you not see the last post on the previous page? It states "Tight fit, Capestang, Canal Du Midi 2011" which is in France.

Also, the letters on the boat are 'LY' not 'LT'.

That bridge is the lowest on the Canal du Midi and all the hire boats are built with that bridge in mind ,the next lowest is just before Adge direction the Etang du Thau.

I think the lowest in the broads would be Potter Heigham, except for the bridges that you can't navigate beneath that is.

No those ones are safe ,that side of the canal there's nothing but houses so boaters in search of shopping do n't tie up there .One theory is the fungi that kills the trees is transported by the ropes ,tying up to an affected tree and later tying up to a healthy tree and pass on the fungi by doing so .Also that side of the canal has steeper banks almost the whole length of it except where the tow path switches sides . boat1
