We’ve had beautiful dry sunny weather here for weeks which is nice but the canal reservoirs are getting low so there will likely be delays getting through.

Another few weeks of this and you’ll be taking the long route.

Weeks? I’d say another fortnight, if not days and it’ll be restricted - having seen the pictures of the nearly empty canal reservoirs.

I think our resident expert had already posted warning of the depth restrictions on the Crinan from this week ….

Tightening of Crinan Canal draught restrictions
