Hatton flights lock system

 Tony and I have thoroughly enjoyed Warwickshire.  The people are so friendly. Today before setting off home we visited the Hatton Flight canal lock system.. This lovely gentleman says he has the best job in the world. He delivers canal boats up and down the country.  He also teaches people how to operate the canal boats and locks. So if you fancy learning how to operate a canal boat here's his details. He was really friendly and says it's really easy to operate the barges









I had a lovely slice of plum tart with thick clotted cream in the cafe.  The loo is a little rustic.

  1. Glad you enjoyed your time in Warwickshire at the model railway show and then the Hatton Flight lock control system. There are some lovely people about who willingly share their wealth of knowledge and passion in a chosen field. The man who spoke to you is obviously one of those people. Safe travels home.
