Lock No 51. Stratford-upon-Avon Canal. Some of the tail gates on this canal need rebalancing, so can be difficult to operate. The tiller man is down below, but in a few seconds will climb out of the lock to give his help on the beam. This one wasn't too bad - Lock No 53 was the worst this season. Image]
