Back in February BW drained the locks and aqueduct at Dowley Gap
(see my report) in order to effect various repairs which included new lock gates and bank strengthening.

| Bank repairs at Dowley Gap Embankment |
 |
| Dowley Gap Aqueduct rewatered |
What a shame that the top set of gates was not replaced at the same time as the other two sets.
 |
| Dowley Gap top gates still leaking ferociously |
In order for the bottom gates to be opened I had to reverse into this waterfall which soaked my legs and swamped the rear deck.
