Bollene Lock

On our trip down the Rhone earlier this summer we tried to describe the size and scale of the biggest and deepest lock in Europe. Today we had it to ourselves and it took a whopping 50,255,000 litres of water just to lift little old us 23metres up to the next level of the Rhone in no more than 10 minutes! (yes - that is 50 million)
Well, now that we have worked out how to put video clips on the blog we can now show you what it feels like at the bottom of the hole...

  1. Hi ! We did this run 20 years ago in our Elizabethan 33 ocean going yacht. I am now typing up my diary of that trip and googled Bollene for a reminder and found you ! The memories !
