episode 3 Hatton locks at the crack of dawn

When insomnia strikes, there’s only one thing to do: get moving! ⚓️ In today’s vlog, Fiona’s sleepless night turns into a productive (and exhausting) crack-of-dawn mission. We’re setting off from our moorings at first light to tackle the legendary Hatton Flight on the Grand Union Canal. 🌅 Known as the "Stairway to Heaven," this flight consists of 21 wide locks that lift boats 146 feet over just two miles. Starting this early means we beat the midday rush, but it also means working those heavy lock beams our selves , before the first cup of coffee has even kicked in! ☕️💪 In this video: Watch us navigate one of the UK's most Tips for handling the heavy Hatton gates (it's a workout!). The beautiful, quiet scenery of the canal at sunrise. A guest appearance by our four-legged lock-wheeling companion! 🐾 #narrowboatliving #canalboatlife #Hattonlocks#grandunioncanal #englishbullterrier Have you ever tackled the Hatton 21?
