Enter the Lock

Enter the Lock
The 9 mile long Crinan Canal links Ardrishaig on Loch Fyne with Crinan on the Sound of Jura,
In the nine miles from Ardrishaig to Crinan there are 15 locks and the canal reaches a height of 65 feet above sea level. The summit reach of the canal is relatively short and every time a boat goes through the locks about 300,000 litres of water are used. No fewer than seven reservoirs feed the summit reach to try to ensure that the Crinan Canal does not run dry. www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/crinan/crinancanal/index.html

Large may be good

Not sure if there is a problem here Roger, IP slow to load and I could not access the link, Try later. (3rd attempt OK now).
Superb water scene, that mast reflection leads the eye right up to the lock gates. Very satisfying shot.

A lovely scene and interesting information, Roger. It may be faster than sailing around the coast, but with all those locks the nine miles would still take some time.
5 years ago.
Roger (Grisly) club has replied to tiabunna club
Thank you George, In Scotland all locks are operated by waterway staff so progress is often quite swift. This shot is just past the halfway mark and I have an image of this yacht entering the basin at the western end 62 minutes later.
