Bank Holiday Monday 31 August 2009


From Nether Heyford to above Buckby Top Lock, Grand Union Canal Main Line


A dry bank holiday! We travelled up 7 locks mingling in with a slowish trail of boats in both directions. Everybody very pally and patient. We met a boater going the other way who we have encountered quite a few times this summer. Its a small world on the waterways!
Our picture shows some waterside topiary we brushed past, shaped to resemble an animal taking a drink. Bob reckoned an elephant?
We are not looking forward to tomorrow as we shall have to make a decision as to which direction to take, either towards Leicester or Braunston. May not move at all the weather is going to be awful.
7 locks; 7 miles
