Follow the canal to the next lock
“The towpath looks like more of the same at every bend. Then the lock is a working machine, and crossing on the gate itself puts you out over the water.”
The Recipe
- Get onto the nearest canal or river towpath and walk it, either direction, until you reach a lock.
- Cross to the far bank on the lock gate itself, not the nearest road bridge.
- Walk back along the opposite bank.
