Timelapse: Dobb's Weir to Limehouse Basin

Things are starting to get interesting. This next timelapse film shows us travelling down the Lee Navigation on 20th August 2010 from Dobb's Weir towards London. The Olympic Stadium is clearly visible as we pass the junction with the Hertford Union Canal (Duckett's Cut). We stop just the other side of Old Ford Lock to have a look at the Olympic site; then we carry on a bit further before tying up again for a short while, at Three Mills. Then it's down towards Bow Locks, and onto the Limehouse Cut to Limehouse Basin for the night.
