Today In 2004 we were taking our first trip up the R. Sambre and had to stop for the night below Landelies lock as it shut at 6pm. Later in the day we moored at Thuin a town of boatmen and an excellent Chippy.

The waterway is Burstwick Drain, the main channel for draining the farmland in the south west of Holderness, and connecting to the Old Hedon Haven,  once a navigable tidal waterway from the River Humber at Saltend, to Hedon. It silted up and the last remnants were filled in at the end of the 1970s. Plans have been devised to re-open the Haven as a navigable waterway; the new bypass is a significant hindrance.

This day in 2009 in one of the deep locks on the centre canal France. Various commercials have written on the rising bollard mostly from the 1980s when there was still some traffic. These deep locks were built to speed up the route to the Soane from the coal mines each lock replacing 2 previous ones. They fill very quickly from the bottom and toss you about initially.
