Opening the gate with a rope is a routine known as "thumb-lining". Great video, thanks.

@@ElectricNarrowboat Yes, skilled hands always show us up don't they? Also with thumblining take note of the shape of the lock gate hand rail, there is a small return at the inner end which helps the line stay in the right place. So be prepared for some slip offs on some gates. Another useful thing is the use of the "strapping post" on a lock with single entry gate. The edge of the gate has the timber post extending above the top rail and if you are entering the lock slowly you can toss a loop of your stern rope over that post as you go past it. Applying some pressure to the rope will do two things, it will pull the gate closed behind you and also bring the boat to a stop. Take care with this one until you've got the hand of it...

Cool rope trick. Did he divulge the knot? I suspect the rope falling off the gate has a lot to do with a special knot. It was almost like a magic trick with your reaction being one of almost disbelief 😂😂😂😂

Blimey, it's busy! Would like to know how Kevin wrapped the rope. I guess the rope holds itself in place when pulled from one direction and falls off when the pressure is released as he's passing through. A lovely trick. Kings Langley Skew Railway Bridge No 156 - the concrete bridge, was pleasing. 1950s I guess, built on the original brick pillars to carry the West Coast Main Line.
