    You go down from Waterford on a falling tide and get to cheekpoint and go on the rising tide up through New Ross to St Mullins . You have to wait in St Mullins for the tide to rise enough so you can cross the Scar [ a line of rocks across the river ] and motor up to the lock in St Mullins . You are now in the canal system so need a Lock Key which is a big handle to open and close sluices on the lock gates . I am not sure what the situation is with permits or how you get to Naas as I have only ever been to Lowtown .
