Hatton with Harnser
When we met Brian and Diana on Harnser very briefly last night we established we were both planning to descend Hatton Locks today and, being broad locks, we could share the work. First I delivered another batch of our DVDs to the Canal Shop with time for a quick chat with Neil, then we were off. I walked through the separate footpath tunnel at Shrewley, to check it out for filming tomorrow and soon we were at the top of Hatton Locks. 
Chatting happily together we were down the flight in 2 hours 25 minutes, and we would have been a little quicker if we hadn’t caught up slow moving boats near the bottom. Having a 5th crew member makes a lot of difference with one able to go ahead and set the next lock each time. At the bottom we went into the Saltisford Arm for a pump out and found this moorhen sitting on 5 eggs and happily watching us right alongside. It even stood up so I could see the eggs. 
We’re moored just outside the Saltisford Arm, which was already full with breasted up boats when we got there. Tomorrow we will be heading back up Hatton the Hatton flight as we film for one of our DVDs. Posted on Wednesday, 8 July 2009 at 20:50 Comments (0) |
