I want to try the Anderton Boat Lift at Nantwich & the Falkirk Wheel


Oooooo, the Anderton Lift - class engineering. Its been an object of desire for as long as I can rememember (IIRC) - which isn't as long as it should be, but I've still not actually seen it. Must change that.
I've been to it before restoration started, got some pictures somewhere

I just want them to get the Foxton Inclined Plain working at Blist Hill - now that would just complete the set!


Foxton was featured in 'Old Glory' a few months ago. It looks very impressive indeed.

Don't forget though, there's the 3-Rise & 5-Rise at Bingley, I presume you'll pass them on the way up to 'G-G'?

Still, only 50 wks to GG!

Moving back to the original subject, not that I have any objections to discussing the cut, a few videos of the winch in action have just been uploaded to http://www.cravenpotholeclub.org/gg_contentpage.aspx?Page=GapingGill.Videos&Group=GapingGill

And a fine bunch they are too. Their meet is good because it provides the GG experience for all them folk that go away on thier hols over the August B/H. Shame they've had such foul weather for the last couple of years - they're due a scorcher.

Hope to see a few up in t'dales in August!

19th to the 28th of August, mate.  :wink:

Due to a poor bit of forward planning by other folk, meself and Wolfie won't be 'on fell' for the first weekend (marshalling at the Baja UK in Radnor), but we'll be there for the rest of it. Hard life, isn't it!  8)

So, when are folk turning up? Just for info, the Bank Holiday weekend has a superb atmosphere, but the ques can be very long.

Countin' down the days now.....

cheers
