Dalmuir Drop Lock

Pied Thrush in Dalmuir Drop Lock   © Andrew Balmer 2006

Back from Bowling to Glasgow today.

We spent a quiet evening in Bowling Basin watching the rabbits playing on the grass during the evening.  Then headed back up the locks to Glasgow where we are moored this evening.

Once again we passed through the Dalmuir Drop Lock.  It’s all electrically operated and the British Waterways staff didn’t even have to press the buttons as Susan did that for them.

We passed one boat coming down the locks but that was the only other boat we saw moving today.

Neither did we see any moored boats along the canal – just those in Bowling Basin and at Glasgow.

Tomorrow morning we will head off to Auchinstarry, then on Thursday we are booked to ascend the Falkirk Wheel around lunchtime and head towards Edinburgh on the Union Canal.  We will probably moor somewhere around Falkirk Tunnel for the evening if all goes well.

The weather forecast seems to be lacking sunshine so if anyone could email us some that would be appreciated.
