tewkesbury to gloucester, having been down to marina this morning it would'nt fit under bridge,

the trouble is when you ring bw head office in gloucester every one says different ....

the flood gates are staying closed on gloucester lock til next week apparently....

Looks likes its going to be a little breezy down this end, so you are probably better off being stuck

I was down at Upton yesterday and the depth was 5.7m at my berth, it normaly reads 1.3m. The water was over the riverbanks at the marina entrance and the pontoon ramps were almost horizontal. It can drop very quickly though so you never know...
