After dinner, we went for a walk to see what was in store for Monday. We had done the first lock of the Caen Hill Flight – only another 28 to go! To preserve water, the central flight of 16 locks are only open for a few hours each day – entry is only allowed between 10am and 1pm. Usually this sort of restriction is policed with a padlock on the paddles or a chain joining the gates. I am something of a fan of the well placed bollard to resolve traffic problems, but I’ve not seen them on gate arms before.
