And the Leeds Liverpool also has bywash weirs which keep the areas of water (pounds or ponds they are called) between the locks topped up with water which is drawn from the main length of the canal, which also creates a "flow" and boats make water move when they are sailing past because they draw water under and around them with their propellers.

That makes sense, you tend to think of a canal as static water.
As the canal is always my starting point for a walk I ten to notice the same crap on a regular basis, I have noticed that a specific piece of rubbish, take the extinguisher for example, will move in one direction for a period of say a week or two, and will then reverse direction and go back the way it came. I first spotted the extinguisher close to the Emerson and Renwick building in Church, it was then spotted moving toward Clayton, and was spotted adjacent to express gifts between the two bridges over the canal in Clayton, the last time I saw it , it was in the vicinity of Riley's swing bridge.
At the expense of sounding like a rubbish nerd I have never noticed flotsam move in one direction and keep going indefinitely without a reverse at some point.
I will stop there as I am starting to sound a bit anorak:silly: |
