Well very disappointed by the sea scouts 😒 Lovely cruise though, so thank you for that. Hope you are keeping well ☺️

Hi Lesley, I must admit I was a little disappointed as I have found the canal community to always be friendly and helpful, maybe it is a sign of the times. I am keeping well as I hope you are. 😀

Lovely filming as usual 👍🏼. I was avidly looking for my two friends boats who did that journey recently up and back down the Hatton Flight, some locks hard work and needed greasing 🦆💕

Hi Pam, I'll be climbing the Hatton Flight next, I'll let you know how the locks are. 😀🙋‍♂️

Thank you for this video. We had friends in Leamington Spa (and we went there once).But they never told us there was a canal in this town ! (even if they showed us a "stair of locks" not far away).🙂

The Grand Union Canal passes right through Royal Leamington Spa and Warwick. The flight of locks you saw were probably the Hatton Flight of 21 locks and a rise of 160ft. I will be tackling them iduring the next part of my cruise.

The kites are to keep the pigeons away that’s why they look like birds of prey

Thanks Mike, I thought that’s what it might be but I have never seen them before. 👍
