20 minutes! Nothing like that in general - we've done over 50 locks in a day before now, which would be over 16 hours just for the locks! The locks on the Nene can empty very quickly indeed when you are raising the gates to empty them without a boat in, or below! I bet they're a lot slower now they are mechanised. -- On-line canal route planner: http://www.canalplan.org.uk (Waterways World site of the month, April 2001) My Reply-To address *is* valid, though may not remain so for ever.
