31st July - to Aynho!

Lock Stats
Today: 10 locks
Grand total: 126 locks
To go: 153 locks

Aubreys Lift Bridge at CRT's Thrup yard was a bit of a pain as a single hander as although it was ok to operate and got through the bridge the moorings we a bit awkward on the other side to enable you to jump of and operate the bridge.

Somerton deep lock is one of the deeper locks on the network (16th deepest) at 12ft deep, I can add it to Bath deep (2nd deepest) for my list of deep locks I've done.

Somerton Deep Lock

I moored up just before Aynho Weir lock which is wider than normal locks, I thought to enable lots of boats to fit in but it's apparently to feed the water for the Somerton Deep lock. Makes sense I suppose!
