Navigational Notes

The pound between the 4th and 5th locks in the Tyrley flight can be challenging:

1) There are no lock landings in either direction.

2) There is a very strong bywash from lock 4 into the pound, which can pin a boat onto the offside wall.

3) There is a lip or ledge between the centre of the channel and the towpath. It is impossible to come alongside the towpath.

Trying to pass a boat in the opposite direction, or "hover", in the pound is tricky due to the strength of the bywash and a bad idea for the less experienced boater. It is best to have the next lock at your level, with the gate open, before leaving the lock you are in.
