Pillings Lock took me by surprise as well. (I went through the day before you). I guess it’s the recent rain we have had bringing the river level up but having been a volunteer on Peter le Marchant Trust boat Symphony in the 80s and 90s I know that it is usually open in the summer.

Nick: When I phoned BW to check if the lock was meant to be in use with such a small difference in water levels, the lady who answered the call sounded surprised, but phoned back later to confirm it was deliberate – based on predicted large rainfall.
