The Ups and Downs of a Lockkeeper by Jake Cavanagh is a lighthearted look at the lockkeepers job, be it a rural lock on the canals, or an ultra-modern affair at a huge marina. Narrowboaters, motor cruisers, yachtsmen, rowers and canoeists alike will relate to the scrapes people get into in locks - all of which will be emabrrassingly familiar to flustered lock users of all ages.
The horrors unfold as were are hilariously reminded of the awkward occasions we would rather not remember!
Jake worked on the Thames locks around Windsor and is a well known cartoonist and editor
