Were they demonstrating how not to leave a wide lock due to damaging gates...?

In gongoozling mode, just as we arrived at the lock, the towingpath gate had debris behind and wouldn't open fully. The  lockwheeler had persuaded the steerer to stop and I walked over the tailbridge to open the offside gate. Boat then left without further issues.

Myton Road Footbridge No 42 GU Warwick

 

Europa Way, A452, was built as Leamington's connection to the M40. To make room for the big junction at its north end and the realigned local roads the canal was diverted, creating a landscaped open space.
