The Falkirk Wheel

Following on from yesterday's blip, I wonder what this couple were thinking.

Day trip to the Falkirk Wheel with KryptoMart and his dad today.

The Falkirk Wheel is a rotating boat lift connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. The lift opened in 2002 reconnects the two canals for the first time since the 1930s as part of the Millennium Link project.

The wheel raises boats by 24 metres (79 ft), but the Union Canal is still 11 metres (36 ft) higher than the aqueduct which meets the wheel. Boats must also pass through a pair of locks between the top of the wheel and the Union Canal. The Falkirk Wheel is the only rotating boat lift of its kind in the world, and one of two working boat lifts in the United Kingdom, the other being the Anderton boat lift.

Hope you have all had a good Sunday.
