The more I do...

The more I do, the more there seems to be in the way of email-type paperwork at the end of the day.

Had a good little walk with SM from the Lea Rowing Club today, up to Tottenham Locks and back. We talked through a lot of the issues facing rowers on the increasingly boater-congested Lee, and what sort of things we might be able to do to make it better.

There were signs of rough sleeping under the bridge at Tottenham Locks, and very traditional shopping trolleys pulled from the Lee further down. All that got reported.

At Essex Wharf (just upstream of Lea Bridge) though, some very positive moves: where the damaged and missing coping stones used to be, CRT operatives were putting in fresh cement - apparently ahead of a more substantial fix later in 2017 (huzzah!) This seemed to be done alongside the new rescue ladders and safety chain installed there.

I then cycled back down towards QEOP and had a chat with the proprietor of the vinyl record selling boat at the trade mooring at the Hertford Union junction. Very nice guy, hope he gets some business.
