A great place to get some noob narrow boat piloting and lock operation practice is the Warwick 21 lock stairway to heaven set with a rental narrow boat.
It’s bloody hard work getting through them with just one boat.
Best case scenario is two side by side or serial style if you’re a chicken.
Noobs do serial operations but we saw a few pros doing side by side all the way up and down the locks.
I could not believe how fast the water level went up or down in these locks, even the good few in the set of 21 that were leakier than the good ones filled up and drained rapidly.
A fine Audi chariot!
