Lumen Rivers

Notes for water that moves the other way.

Lumen Rivers is the inland desk of the Lumen project. We write down river levels, lock hours, landing stages and the small changes each season brings, for people who travel slowly.

Season status Autumn low water: recorded
Lock schedules: winter hours
Next review: after the thaw

Levels

Plain readings of the gauges we pass, with the date and the weather that came with them.

Locks and bridges

Opening hours, clearances and the habits of the people who keep them.

Landing stages

Where a small boat can tie up for a night, and where it is better not to.
