Lock And Roll


Quite an interesting scene of two narrowboats using the lock at the same time. The two boats will be able to pass through twice as quick, as both 'captains' are working together.

I quite like the family of Japanese tourists standing there and watching the action. Not sure if they have canals in the Orient, so it will be something special for them to see the action

  1. Those two boats squeeze in there ever so close - nice photo! They remind me of the boats in Birmingham which I saw in June!

  2. Don't know about the Japanese but lots of foreigners seem quite fascinated when I've published canal shots - strangely enough got canal pics on both HydeDP and Ackworthborn today - no boats in sight though.
