Garrison Flight - Salford to Bordesley Junction (time lapse)

Length: 6:12
Description: The Grand Union Canal (Birmingham and Warwick Junction Canal) runs 2.6 miles from Salford Junction South to Bordesley Junction.
The canal rises 34 feet 5 inches through the Garrison Flight of five locks.
For the badlands of Birmingham we had judged it safer to have the camera mounted on the blunt end. Unfortunately this gave our noble skipper ample opportunity to keep fannying about with it.
Quite why I decided not the film rising in the first two locks is a mystery and the lesson is quite clear. Keep the camera on the pointy end and well away from the skipper.
In case anyone is wondering, the little red doors in many of the bridges are to allow the fire brigade to dip their hosepipes in the canal
