A shallow canal can be a very difficult place to get out of and a ladder just may be a life saver. lightweight board can be attached to one side of a ladder to double it’s usefulness as an access planks. these are handy for when it is not possible to moor close to the bank and bridge the gab between the boat and the towpath.. After mooring for the night above church lock this boat motored by. i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the side of it. nearly half of the side of the boat was missing . the plank man that was steering it shouted to me and said that it was extra ventilation.. With the plank bent and twisted the next thing is to force it down so that it's touching the bottom boards, then everyone can go and have a brew and bake spuds in the embers of the fire..
