When we did the Ouse in 2001, the Imray guidebook gave the width, depth and height restrictions, but nothing about the length of the locks. We found out the hard way that you can't get a 71'6" boat through a sixtysomething foot lock. Pictures at http://grandunioncanalcarrying.co.uk/Ouse/OuseIndex.html and scroll down threequarters of the way down the page. So we never did get to try Reach, Burwell and Wicken Lodes. David Mack
