I didn't realize there were more than one Hatton Locks, but it doesn't surprise me. The one I use is just outside Warwick and is only about 16 miles from me, its set in an area with a network of small lanes and its quite easy to work out a longer route there.

My bad Dave. I am getting 2 places mixed up. There is the village of Hatton then there is Anderton Locks......both on my summer rides.

I have just scrolled through the various sections and cant find that one.
TBH I dont like the new format. Too many sections are sooooo difficult to find eg the jokes section. To get it I have to type "jokes" into the search bar.

I envy you and your green and verdant land. Got many weeks of this to enjoy.

Is Anderton Locks near the boat lift?

 

[12boy]

That is off my front porch in Casper, Wyoming. Every year for a month or so I wish I had a fatbike.

Thats the one.
We have never done that boat lift. Every year we say we will but for some reason its never been done.
This year for certain.

Our ex daughter in law, who we both love, has remarried and now lives in Montana which (by USA measurements) is virtually down the road from you.

We've visited the boat lift, we were in Warrington visiting our son and we spent the afternoon doing the river cruise before they took the boat up in the lift, it was the first time I saw a Kingfisher in the wild.

It’s in General Chat too, same as this one.

We get loads of Kingfishers along the drainage ditches on the Marshes opposite us. It's good fun racing alongside them on the Marsh road. I once had one doing a stop start race alongside me for about half a mile.

I'm on the road again now if I could shift this bloody cold 🤧
