Atherstone Locks

[mikevye]

I sense a big delay coming up for your Easter break if the weather improves. The towpath between these locks remains closed with access only by boat and a marina in the middle!!! To compound the problem you can only disembark going up at lock 6 via the bow and would then have to back off to allow the lock to be exited. The only ray of light (maybe) is that volunteer lock keepers start this Easter !!!

That sounds interesting for anyone single handed

In that case there won't be any problem at all as it doesn't look like the weather will ever improve!
