General
Description - Paddle north through Uxbridge past many narrow boats. At Uxbridge Lock get out on the left and portage over the bridge. Carry on north to Denham Deep Lock where Fran's cafe may be open. Continue to Harefield Moor Lock and then to Black Jack's Lock (claimed to be haunted).
Continue and just before Coppermill Lock is the Coy Carp (formerly The Fisheries) pub/restaurant.
Just by the bridge is where the River Colne, or part thereof, runs into the canal. This provides a little white water for playing. The flow varies from time to time.
If you turn round here it is a 12 mile trip with 4 locks. (route)
