  • This is it, the current terminus of the Ashby Canal is just a handful of miles away. This final section is said to offer the finest, most gorgeous scenery so far - perhaps even of any canal on the network.
    Before reaching the end of what has been a very 'mixed' and surprising journey, I still have the small matter of strong winds gusting to 50mph, as well as a tunnel (which carries the canal under the village of Snarestone), to contend with.

I’ve always wanted to visit the UK but with your videos I get to enjoy the countryside rain or shine and learn a lot along the way. The architecture is fabulous.

      I forgot to tell you our locks are called the Sault Locks. They service ocean vessels and ships that only travel the Great Lakes and are up to 1,005 feet long. There is a larger lock being dug currently but won’t be completed for approximately another 8-10 years. Just thought I’d pass that on.
      Also wondering how I could mail something to you?? Take care.
