20 locks in 1 day - world record for the Thomas McDowell team!

There are two canals in this count-er-ee
One was made in the eighteenth cent-ur -ee
The second, I fear
I have filled up with beer
As Sherlock said, it's elementary

Amazing poetry and after only half a pint!

Yesterday we did 20 locks, a set of five (a warm up) followed by 15 more. Fortunately most of the locks were full, so we didn't have to waste time filling them. Tonight we are in a lovely old pub in Barbridge, waiting for a herb crusted salmon dinner. Yum! We've forgotten what an oven looks like. :-)

    I'm interested to know how you are filling locks with beer... Especially when you are only drinking half a pint at a time.

    It requires prolonged dedication

    They really just don't make pubs like that in nz. Or canals or barges for that matter
