Saltisford Arm to Turner's Green, Grand Union Canal
This morning we have an early rendezvous with the narrow boat, Noonie, as we are forming a coalition to speed our travel up the 21 wide, deep locks of the Hatton flight. By moving into and between the locks with the boats breasted up (side by side) makes for a much more successful way of proceeding. So the two chaps had a really sociable time together whilst steering and the ladies had a good time too working the locks. Welcome coffee onboard Noonie at the halfway point recharged us, and we reached the top for a late lunch. Far more pedestrian spectators than other boaters - really quite surprising.
We exchanged addresses with Jim and Heather on Noonie as they are off down the Stratford on Avon canal tomorrow, as we hope to cross paths again.
Our picture shows the current standard of British Waterways transport at their Hatton offices.
