Well, we’ve been at it again 
Last year we turned left out of the basin, went down the Regent’s Canal to the Grand Union and followed that up as far as King’s Langley. Our mission was to get outside the M25, and we just about managed it
This year we decided to go the other way – along Regent’s Canal to the Hertford Union Canal (also known as Duckett’s Cut), then up the Lee Navigation to Bishop’s Stortford and Hertford (the Stort Navigation branches off the Lee and winds all the way to Bishop’s Stortford, near Stansted Airport).
Saturday 22nd July 2006 – Battlebridge Basin to Victoria Park
About 3.5 miles and 3 locks = 6.5 lock miles.
Sunday – Victoria Park to Enfield Lock
About 11 miles and 7 locks = 18 lock miles.
Monday – Enfield Lock to Parndon Lock (near Harlow, Essex)
About 11.5 miles and 14 locks = 25.5 lock miles.
Tuesday – Parndon Lock to Bishop’s Stortford
About 9 miles and 10 locks = 19 lock miles.
Wednesday – Bishop’s Stortford to Sheering Mill Lock (Sawbridgeworth)
About 5 miles and 6 locks = 11 lock miles.
Thursday – Sheering Mill Lock to Hertford
About 14 miles and 13 locks = 27 lock miles.
Friday – Hertford to Aqueduct Lock (north of Cheshunt)
About 10 miles and 8 locks = 18 lock miles.
Saturday – Aqueduct Lock to Battlebridge Basin
About 18.5 miles and 16 locks = 34.5 lock miles.
