Mainly because Jen does them and I steer the boat! Biggest group we have done are the lovely Audlem flight, great fun. Haven't been game to tackle Devizes yet, maybe next year. Cheers, Cliff and Jenni I agree Andy, don’t mind the locks. Mainly because Jen does them and I steer the boat!

Where we were, they told us that there's a big water shortage this season, and so at one section of the canal only 5 lock's worth of boats in both directions are allowed per day...

We turned around and continued the canal boat hoilday in an easterly direction.

Nice. :-)
