Santa

Santa must have been reading my dreams and taken pity on the trolley fishing gear noticed at reference 1 and 2. With the result that I am now kitted out with a state-of-the-art trolley recovery set. With the grappling iron (probably some kind of stainless steel) folding up neatly, rather like an umbrella, when not in use.

The modern rope is a lot lighter and more flexible than it might look, and with a little practise I dare say I could swing the iron up to the battlements of, for example, Castle Rising. Probably best done in the dark when the chaps up top can't see to pour their boiling oil. See reference 4.

Note also the shrink wrap yellow plastic, the modern alternative to the eye splice, something which I could actually do, many years ago.

No excuse now for not tackling the challenge noticed at reference 3. Still there yesterday morning, along with another regular trolley a bit further upstream. Might be best to try that one first.
