Bristol - Junction & Plimsoll bridges

[TwoHooter]

We have a booking to go in to the Floating Harbour tomorrow, 1st June. When I made the booking I was told there was trouble with the bridges and we might not get through (we have just under 9m air draft). I was promised a text message to tell me what the score is but it never came and I missed the slot to speak to the lock today. We are booked out of Portishead at 09:30 - rumour has it that people were getting through the bridges today - does anyone know if they are working again?
Edit:- 07:10am, Have just received text message confirming bridges are working.

Thanks Sneds. I did get a text in the end - and the bridge was working (sloooooowly!) - and here we are. Very nice it is too.




Went up as far as Hanham Lock in the tender in the afternoon - lovely river trip.

Ha, opposite our old mooring, a great spot!

Surprised you fitted under the bridge at the dock's end of the feeder canal?

Doh!

In the tender!
