super photo. Have you seen the boat lifts near La Louviere in Belgium and the original made by Gustave Eiffel, also in La Louviere?
I think canal transport will become very important again in the not so distant future
Kind regards and thanks for your excellent photos and blogs

It’ll be nice to see the Chasewater 10K back what they finish all the works. !! For the first time in years I’m not Marathoning this year so have decided to do the Fradley 10K instead the stafford half or another 20 miler.
