The last two days we have been busy experiencing the canals and towns between Clos Du May and Montceau Les Mines.
Yesterday we entered the canal du Centre for our last remaining up hill locks before making our final decent.
These have been long days with many locks. The locks in canal du Centre are completely full with only 10cm of lock wall remaining after it is completely full, making for a very cautious exit out of the lock.
Today we covered over 14 locks rising about 80m in altitude.
This evening we berthed in an old mining town called Montceau Les Mines. Amanda and I took the kids for an explore around a large park complete with peacocks, goats and a large pig.
