No neither had we until CRT decided to inspect the paddle gear at the feeder. They arrived last Wednesday to install the scaffolding (I missed that bit but was told two burly guys entered the feeder in wetsuits, promptly sunk into the silt up to their chests and struggled to manoeuvre cos that gloopy stuff kept grabbing at their boots). Anyway I did get the photos on the Thursday so feast your eyes on these.

I have to commend CRT for completing this in one day which meant the back pump could stay off. The water level in the basin dropped by a mere 3 inches
So now I know how it's done ๐๐ and next time I see a cofferdam in place I will appreciate all the hard work that it took for those men to do the job.
Oh and we also went to a place in Leicestershire called Bradgate Park. Full of Deer, the scenery was stunning and the walks not too challenging. Put it this way, I managed a 4-mile walk without my knee giving giving up and clicking (although the next day boy did I know about it!)
