Stoppage: Aldwarke Lock, Eastwood Lock & Kilnhurst Lock
Associated Regional Office: BW Yorkshire
Update (4 June 2008): The top lock gate at Aldwarke has been removed for repair following a breakdown. This repair is taking place off site and is expected to take approximately one week, after which the gate will need to be re-installed in the lock. We are doing as much as we can to re-open the lock as soon as possible and an update will be produced on Friday 13 June. British Waterways apologizes for the inconvenience caused.

I think I got lucky. This is the first time ever saw this. They were locked in the mating position for a long time, flapping their wings occasionally.
One morning I thought I would do my laundry. I didn't have laundry detergent, so I ran to the grocery store. Literally, I ran about 2km to the grocery store to buy soap. What is somewhat normal in America, going to the store in shorts, bright orange running shoes, and nappy hair - isn't so normal here. Amid all the stares, I picked up some laundry detergent, a sausage for breakfast, and started running back home.
It must have been quite the seen for everyone. An American running with laundry detergent in one hand and sausage in the other. My nappy hair blowing in the breeze while I run the 2km back home.
I load my laundry and close the door to the washing machine. Having been to a laundromat, I was prepared to pay for this cleaning service. Such simple tasks become complicated when you don't read German. Particularly when you lock you clothes inside. Everything is in another language so I am not sure how to get my clothes out. Turns out the machine takes special coins - not Euros. My clothes were trapped!!!
I pulled out a dictionary and started to translate any word I could find on the machine. The first word I translated suggested I put my clothes in a missile throwing device. Yes, a missile throwing device.
I had to walk another 2km to the office to buy these special coins. They were closed. Of course.
My clothes trapped and the day passing - I left them there. I have camped before, people will just have to deal with the smell.
An unrestored lock.
The Fourteen Locks were completed by 1798 under the direction of Thomas Dadford Junior, as part of an arm (the Crumlin Arm) to link the main Monmouthshire Canal established in 1792 and also engineered by Dadford Junior, (linked in 1812 to the Brecon Canal at Pontymoile to form the "Mon-Brec") with collieries and works at Risca. The flight of locks rises 167 feet (51 metres) in just half a mile (804 metres), and is regarded as one of the wonders of British canal engineering. At the inaugural committee meeting of the Monmouthshire Canal Company in 1792, Dadford requested 200 wheelbarrows, 6 dozen casting tools, and 6 dozen shovels for this mammoth task.
ODC2...Lock and Key...Well, it took me a long time to match the keys with the locks that are stored in this key box. I can't remember why we have so many locks. I can only imagine that it is only because the locks were not matched with their keys and were most likely never together in the same place when we needed one. Well, at least I have captured them all and tied them up together. The question now is, why do I need so many?

There was just a part of the fence on either side, but on the gate there was a chain and a lock. I am sure there was some treasure behind the gate.
This is Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 62. This shot was taken up on the towpath trail looking down into the north chamber, looking east. This lock was originally built in 1855 and consisted of two separate chambers. In 1877 the south chamber was lengthed. The lock was abandoned in 1918. It is part of a town park that few people seem to know about . The towpath trail is maintained but the lock has deteriorated somewhat. The old lock is shrouded in weeds, just waiting for the day when water is restored to the Old Erie. The whole lock is there except for the gates but is not very visible, sort of hidden on a trail from French Road. It is located in Pittsford Plaza near Wegmans (near the very back, up the hill ) or along the trail from French Road approximately one mile north of the village of Pittsford, NY.

A close-up of the lock system I created for this wonderful new tutor home. The place looks like it has been around 100 years. Hats off to Ron, the architect. He is amazing.
A locked gate! The week had been very hot, and the logging companies locked the gates on Friday - my exit day - to stop people from going in on the weekend. Thankfully there was someone stationed at the other gate to let people out.
Taken on a trip to Argus Mountain, Mount Harmston, and The Red Pillar including the Upper Cliffe Glacier and Lower Cliffe Glacier. Entry and exit were via Oshinow Lake.
