The 21 locks at Hatton descend 146 feet to Warwick in an impressive flight. The forecast was for heavy rain and few boats were about, so we decided to take it slowly 5 locks at a time with breaks in between where we could tie up to bollards in the short pounds between locks. Raising paddles and opening gates on one side only avoided crossing slippery gates.

Floating chandlery between locks - we bought mooring chains and tyres
