Navigational Notes

Unusually the bottom gate of Lock 60 has the foot-crossing across the lock jutting out about 4 feet horizontally into the lock-chamber, rather than being on the other side. Therefore extra caution needs to be exercised when entering the full lock to slow down earlier to prevent the boat's bow from striking and damaging your boat and the walk-way at the far end, as happens.

This walkway across is the only local convenient way for pedestrians, boating or not, to access the rubbish disposal and the Crofton Pumping Station from the opposite side of the canal and the nearby moorings.
