​When the water level in a lock has lowered to be the same as the river downstream from the lock, you can feel very small and insignificant sitting in a canoe.  The view from my campsite at Pinkhill Lock early in the morning was misty and almost mystical.  You could easily imagine an ancient army approaching the river on its way to do battle for their leader’s right to the throne of England.
