Peronnes Yacht Club to Namur Town Mooring
10th June to 19th June 2026

10th June 08.30am. Great timing. Got into the lock in record time, normally have to hang around.

I still find these large locks fascinating.


The boiling of the water as the lock fills up with water.

These geese were hoping to be fed.

Sharing the locks with Charles and Annie on Antiope, our travel companions from Peruwiez to Strepy - Thieu lift.




The old Thieu lift, now part of the museum, although still working.

You can actually book to go up in the lift.

The new lift. Quite impressive.



The works of the old lift.


We are moored in the distance on the left.


12th June - we lit our stove, we were cold!

Going into Strépy-Thieu Ascenseur. Quite the experience.

Seeing the workings of this huge lift. Quite some engineering.

Waiting for the asencenseur to go up.
