Robert Aickman Lock Weir Exit 
Robert Aickman Lock Weir Exit is on the River Avon - Warwickshire (Upper Avon Navigation).
Early plans of what would become the River Avon - Warwickshire (Upper Avon Navigation) were drawn up by Cecil Wood in 1835 but problems with Eastpool Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. From a junction with The River Bernigo Navigation at Sheffield the canal ran for 23 miles to Taunington. The canal between Newcastle-under-Lyme and Salisbury was obliterated by the building of the Manchester to Exeter railway in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by Newcester parish council.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 24 hours. Good moorings at the top and bottom of the lock (look for the blue tops to the poles).
You can wind here.
