If someone is operating the lock solo, after closing or opening one gate it seems to be a bit of a trek to the other side to deal with the other gate.

You never talked about the center line when in the lock.

Is this part 2? It starts "Now the water is level". What did you do before that?

Jay Stone - 6 years ago

You basically just do the same in reverse, open gates, put boat in, open the holes on the top gate to let the water fill the lock, open top gates, boat leaves

Rope?

Ok this is probably going to be a stupid question, do you need to open both gates on the lock to drain it, if you are solo can you just use the one gate to save having to cross the lock to re-lower the gate before departing.

Jo Allan - 6 years ago

nah you can usually open one IF there is enuff width to exit. Lock gates vary. If only opening one paddle, draining takes twice as long.

The voice over moves to solely the right channel (probably the problem and not a great idea)

Apologies about that, we’ll try and improve the
sound for future videos. Glad you found it helpful. Thanks.

more specifically. Sorry, I was not very specific. Regardless, a very helpful clip.

Hi, we've tried it from here and it seems to be working. I would recommend refreshing the page. Thanks :)
