Great video. I've experienced the 'random strangers' thing to way down the boat and it seems to work. I wonder what the clearance available was that day?

I would think less than 6ft 9" and 15 punters !

Well you would lose your wager then!  I have take a bathtub through PHB before now and no way would I even think of doing astern, not unless the river was dry and said bathtub was on wheels - then I might..  To do the astern thing you really do need to know fully the 'Feel' of your boat, there is only 1 x boat that I am 100% with the 'Feel' of and that is of course 'B.A'  -  Would I ever attempt PHB astern in 'B.A' - Never, but then again one should never say 'Never'  should one?

'B.A' will be going through PHB this next year as I'm hoping to take 4 x mates fishing for a weekend in the summer, that is four days above that damn bridge

I have a feeling iit was the Sunday we were there ,I was interested as we have a Bounty and the boat had got through on the Saturday and the chap on the boat  said he had to have the boat back on Monday ! It was showing just over 6ft 6" with a bit of time to go before low water. Later saw thie boat go through with its extra " ballast "  Well.  done to the Pilot as a ready made audience must have added to the taskLWe have been through but never that tight

Wow, he can take my boat through any time he likes  Many years ago on Boats with my Dad, the lovely Graham Cook would summon a few people to sit on the boat for extra weight to get us through, all added to the fun of it all

What a skilful lot they are, well done Pilots

p.s I do feel they would look much better in uniform though
