Locks,Locks,Locks





Lovely sunny morning here at Iron Bridge Lock



On the edge of Cassiobury Park it is a popular haunt for walkers,cyclists and picnics not to mention gongoozelers!!!


Cassiobury Park Locks, a set of two, and we encounter congestion. We had to wait for the boat coming down before we could turn the lock.


Yes this notice has been in place since Feb 2016.
 Yes this made the pound above very low of water.
A Wigan Flight moment!!!
The South is no better maintained than elsewhere.


A one out two in moment!


The former water mill at Grove is under renovation.


Countryfile Calender 2018????



We do like a nice bridge


These former oil rig lifeboats are very popular down here.  This one having been across the channel to Calais.


Our next obstacle - a moored boat on the loose.


Captain Trev nudges it into the side


with Mr Lifeboat man pulling it in from the centre rope.


He kindly moored it up securely.


Captain Trev busy brushing the roof while the lock is filling.


Sokai's latest crew member.


Lovely lockside cottage.


Leaking....just a tad!!!!


Still waiting for a Stobart moment!!!


O.K. your bridge!!!

Lurking beyond is the last lock of the day.
The crew is hot and hungry.

5 miles and 9 locks.
