We screwed up on New Junction Canal (big boats and movable bridges) Ep397

When we screw up, we’re never shy to admit it. We all make mistakes and this is especially true when learning, so this episode is the perfect opportunity to introduce you to all the bridges, locks and aqueducts on the New Junction Canal, and where we went wrong! We’ll break down each hurdle, and discuss how we can improve as navigators of the English canal and waterways network.
