These gates can be quiet tricky to get through and some are more difficult than others. If you are carrying saddlebags you may not be able to get the bike through them and have to lift the bike over the gate. Some gates are higher than others and it’s difficult to lift a heavy bike with bags over it as we discovered. Sometimes you can slip around the gate on the canal side but a few are quiet tight and slippy close to the waters edge.
