Thanks for posting that,I will phone the dockmaster before venturing up to Bristol until the work is finished.
Like most of us I dont keep up with notices to mariners. I arrived outside Portishead a couple of years ago called on channel 80 for a lock in only to find it was closed for lock maintenance.Carried on up to Pill so not a problem apart from looking a bit foolish

Tony,
I am planning to take Chausey to Bristol on Friday and come back Sunday. I will be ringing the Harbour master in the morning to find the details. The tides look OK according to the details above. I will post the answer on here.
My daughter is coming down from Newcastle so I hope to combine a couple of sails with seeing her.
I hope to see you out there, where do you normally moor in Bristol? I have been to outside the Arnofini a couple of times.

I understand the lock to be out of action until may next year?
Only passage on tides of over 9.6M
Beware aswell, that Junction Lock (Pump House) bridge is out of action during November
