Stonebridge Locks form part of the Lea navigation System. An important waterway at one time it was used to transport ammunition and gunpowder from Enfield to the River Thames. Here a working narrowboat along with a companion are ready to exit the locks heading north
A perfect lighting situation at the Ballard Locks in WA. I waited for the sun to pop thru the clouds for a dynamic look and stunning water reflections.

Foxton Locks are the largest flight of staircase locks on the English canal system. The locks are equipped with side pounds, with white paddles emptying a lock into a side pound, and red paddles filling the next lock downstream from the pound. This saves water compared to the more common riser staircases, since changing the direction of traffic does not require emptying/filling almost all the locks.
I signed up for the Canal and River Trust Canalathon fundraiser this month (July 2022). The idea is to run or walk a total of 26.2 miles in July along local rivers and canals across England and Wales. I completed my 26.2 miles in almost one day with a 25.51 mile walk from Market Harborough to Leicester city centre. Earlier walks ensured I'd made my overall target. I plan to keep on canal/river walking in July and to add those walks to my overall total. You can see maps of my walks at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/brian-negus and, if you share my love of the English and Welsh waterways, any donations you feel able to make would be wonderful. I've also tweeted about my walks at www.twitter.com/BrianNegus.
This is part of the flight of 10 locks at Foxton Locks, where I took a brief lunch break after my first 5.8 miles. It is the steepest and longest staircase of locks in the UK. My path continues downhill to Leicester, not up that steep incline. I'm standing on an arched bridge over the canal to take this shot.
The Pedro Miguel Locks on the Panama Canal, Panama, raise or lower ships 9.4 meters between Miraflores Lake and the level of Gatun Lake in the Culebra Cut.
The Hatton Locks or Hatton Flight are a flight of 21 locks on the Grand Union Canal in Hatton, Warwickshire, England. The flight spans less than 2 miles of canal, and has a total rise of 45 metres.

Well OK then - one can walk around this gate to get to the path easy enough but if your on 4 wheels that's not gona happen.
The Gatun Locks (1913) on the Panama Canal near Colón, Panama, allow ships to access Gatun Lake. The cruise ship Carnival Pride is seen in the background waiting to enter the locks.

The Peterborough Lift Lock is a boat lift located on the Trent Canal in the city of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, and is Lock 21 on the Trent-Severn Waterway.
For many years, the lock's dual lifts were the highest hydraulic boat lifts in the world, raising boats 65 ft (20 m).
The city took its name from a set of locks built to improve navigation past the Cascades Rapids of the Columbia River. The U.S. federal government approved the plan for the locks in 1875, construction began in 1878, and the locks were completed on November 5, 1896. The locks were subsequently submerged in 1938, replaced by Bonneville Lock and Dam. Cascade Locks is just upstream from the Bridge of the Gods, a toll bridge that spans the Columbia River.

After watching fishermen do their thing and police do their thing we ended up at the Erie Canal and took a cruise through locks 34 and 35. The water will rise to the green doors taking about 8 minutes or so and then the gates open and the boat moves through this lock to the next one.... two in a row. Fascinating process. Reverse on the way back. I was amazed at how fast the water comes in and goes out. These are not the original locks but there is one right next to this where you can see the original. The Erie Canal is still in use today and runs from the Hudson River in Albany New York all the way to Buffalo on Lake Erie. Well.... I think the rooster woke my campers up as they are starting to come in to thaw out (it was 48 degrees last night! (8.8 celsius)
