(Post for Thursday 29 August)
Atmospheric morning. |
The boys. |
Scraping the bttom at Hillmorton. |
Back on to broad locks - Braunston. |
Braunston again |
By Braunston locks, everybody ahead had pulled over, and we went up alone. Despite it being August we got almost to the top before meeting the only pair of downhill boats encountered. There was nobody in the tunnel either, so that was despatched quickly as well.
Tar boat Spey - usually Northern based, but has done a tour of the South. |
Tomorrow back to the mooring should be a short day, but I suspect it will very much depend on what other boats we encounter in trying to get there!
Newbold to Long Buckby
Miles 15.9, Locks: 10
Total Miles 96.7, Total Locks:50
