Foxton Locks

More canals!  We stopped at Foxton Locks because they a famous for having 10 locks in a row, the longest single run in Britain.  They're also an example of the much narrower locks which are more common than the big ones we saw in Scotland on the Caledonian Canal.  There were also lots of people there, many with children, who went there for a day out and to have lunch at the adjacent pub.

Motoring into the next lock, deep down in the slot.

Sluices are opened and the boat starts rising.

Almost up!

The lock is now full, the gates are opened and they motor forward to the next one.

Mrs Boatman's life involves lots of opening and shutting of canal gates!

You can still have fresh lettuce on a canal boat
