Feasible? Pita? No way?
Never been in a canal or lock in my life, but if I get fair winds next week, I'll come round the top and go back to the west coast via the Caledonian canal.
I can prob press gang a crew ember for it as its not the open sea and they won't be so scared ( of my inexperience)
I may then end up in the Crinan canal in oct sometime as I work my way back south towards Cumbria.
What are the major issues? Any clever tips? Any sites or publications that can demystify locking in and out etc?
Thx.
