Congestion at Bishop's Meadow Lock, Loughborough
August Bank Holiday approaches Bishop's Meadow Lock, No 54 on the Grand Union Canal(Leicester Section)/Soar Navigation. The lock provides a rise (or fall) of 8ft 7in (2·6 metres) between the canal and the river levels. The canal rejoins the River Soar about eight hundred metres ahead.
The locks are wide and full length (72 feet) so the two boats in front, and we probably fit in together (I can't remember if we did).
