This is Bulls bridge and the start of the 12 miles lock free journey into London.
The rubbish just here is bad. never have I seen so much in this area.
All the way along are these little monuments of rubbish. Pulled from boat`s propellers and left as memorials to the lazy b!*;*!s who are to thick to realise these will by wind or some one's boot end up back in the canal and on a propeller again.
Our first load from the prop.
The floating muck is still with us.
This is the second of four lots.
Eventually about 4 miles out of London the rubbish disappeared and we arrived to a basin that had a choice of three moorings. About a week here in the big city and Mrs Biggs is a happy girl so you can rely on a few good blog posts.
Is OK Les it is London... Keep cool on rubbish!
ReplyDeleteJust be thankful you are not in Rochdale! Now that place does not keep ME cool!

Hello both, nice to see you are back in cruising mode, shame about the rubbish in the canal though.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were en-route to Paddington we saw an elderly lady wearing a sari come to throw a carrier bag of rubbish into the canal.
Maybe they think it is like the Ganges, there must be a reason why they do this. Seen any floating Cocoanuts yet?

Hi Wozie,
ReplyDeleteWe only saw one coconut, but the pictures don't do it any justice. The entire Paddington arm was literally a surface of garbage on the way in. IN one week's time it was suddenly pristine--as though God snapped His fingers and made all the rubbish disappear. It was strange indeed.
Best to you both,
