Wow: big locks! Anyone else travelled on the Wigan Canal? 26 locks in five miles of nasty North England...(not an enjoyable experience)

The thing too ya gotta remember, was built blood, sweat, and tears style, mostly tears for the poor bastards, in the days of shovels and chain-driven loaders.

What I think is cool about this vid id the few seconds where it turns from Day to Night and the speed at which the one boat at that point is moving. Any Idea how long it takes to drain or fill one of the locks?
