West Stockwith Lock

The next in this little series of videos. Yesterdays showed just how fast the river was flowing well todays shows Naughty-Cal entering West Stockwith Lock against that flow.

West Stockwith is an interesting lock to enter being set at not far off ninety degrees to the tidal river Trent. Unless you are lucky enough to arrive at slack high water there will usually be a flow of water in one direction or the other depending on the state of tide.

As such this is a tricky lock to enter and this time it wasnt helped by the large amount of fresh (flood) water heading downstream towards the Humber and eventually the sea. Although Im sure you will agree, Liam pulled it off just fine this time around.
