Finally got through!

On arriving at this swing bridge, our crew member with the key could not get the bridge unlocked. He tried for some while. These three River Trust guys just happened to be working along the bank the other side of the bridge and came over to help, for which we were truly grateful. They informed us that the lock had not worked for some while and we had jiggle the lock around a bit to open it, at which they demonstrated how. Someone could have put a notice on it, or something. Perhaps even fix the lock ???? We knew better on the way back.
