http://nbbriarrose.blogspot.com/2015/05/pre-crick-day-2.html
Thursday, 21 May 2015. Pre Crick: Day 2. Our locking partners were an experienced boat share couple out of Gayton, and with boats heading down the locks, we made decent progress.

At the penultimate lock, our lock companions were joined by their daughter and three year old grandson. He's got three years experience of boating, and like pushing lock gates! 20 miles, 7 locks.
