Through the 3 tunnels towards Baye

We finished our long day with three tunnels, two of which were 250m long and the last one was 750m and all unlit!  We are 3.7m wide and the canals at this point are not much more than 4m so there's not much room for error. It's a one way system and the lock keeper said we could go through at 5pm. At 4.45pm about 6 little boats came out, turned around and went back in again. The light was green and we followed them through. As you can see from the photos it was steep banked and felt like we were heading into a jungle as we trailed the vegetation with us at times. Such a truly remarkable experience. At the end we came out at the top and the lake at Baye where we hope to go sailing in a hobie cat tomorrow. Sam 

Just like the amazon and so little water i thought we might just grind to a halt!

Drainage channels in the walls. 

At Lake Baye, a beautiful spot and the top of our climb from Dunkirk, 880ft above sea level. After this we start to go back down.
