Water Eaton to Leighton Buzzard and back (Grand Union Canal, Main Line)
We picked up some friends today and took them to Leighton Buzzard and back, stopping off in the town centre to have a good pub meal.
Leighton Buzzard marks the most southerly point of our journey; from now on we'll be traveling back up the Grand Union canal.
We passed Rosanne, the Bromley Youth Trust's boat, familiar from a trip many years ago! It was crewed by the Orpington Scout Fellowship and included several mutual acquaintances.
The photo shows some of the locks at Soulbury, showing also a very conveniently located pub on the right.
There seem to be many herons in this area; it's marvelous to watch them.
12 miles and 10 locks today. The weather was a nice mixture of sun and wind.
