Happy Birthday Dad/Grandad.jpg) Happy Birthday Dad/Grandad. A leisurely day today as we travelled from Glasgow to Bowling. The British Waterway’s (BW) staff operated all the locks and the opening bridges. We had time to stop for morning coffee and biscuits. At lunchtime we paused at McMonagles, the only sail through fish and chip shop for a take-away, then moored at the pontoons just a few meters further on to eat it. There are two pedestrian lift bridges very close together just after this and we had to wait between them as they are only opened one at a time to keep the shoppers happy.  This afternoon included the Dalmuir Drop lock when the boat is lowered one side of a low bridge to pass underneath before being raised again at the other side. The bridge used to lift before the canal closed but caused congestion even then. Now it would cause complete chaos to the road traffic so the drop lock provides a novel solution to the problem. Now we are safely moored in Bowling Basin for the night. Tomorrow we will return along the same route to Glasgow tomorrow. Posted on Monday, 7 August 2006 at 14:14 Comments (0) |
