RE: A Flight over Caen Hill Flight

Nice pics and interesting vlog. I guess I don't understand why they need so many locks on that stretch. It looks fairly flat and should easily do away with at least half if not 2/3 or more of them. Any insight as to why so many that close together?

The 29 locks spread over 2 miles and have a total elevation of 237 feet so a gradient of 1 in 44. All dug by hand over 200 years ago!
Wow, that's some impressive history. It must just look flatter from the pics than it is in real life. Great shots!
Yeah, it's deceptive. You don't realise how hilly it is until you have to walk back. 🙃
Just need a bigger drone to fly you back! lol
Haha! I love that idea 😂
Trust me its mad tomthink we have access to 2000 miles of this. I love this way of life
It's certainly unique and I'm sure great for surrounding wildlife.
