Back on the cut again

Hi folks,

Yesterdays trials went well, we had a BBQ to celebrate.



This morning Mum & Dad left us and we got under way again.

Into the land of narrow bridges.



VERY narrow bridges !!!!!!!!!!!!



In fact it's a very quirky canal all together.

The lock keepers houses have barrel roofs




The aqueducts are in bath tubs with the tow path at the bottom not at the top of the water.






It's very strange looking UP at your boat as it sails by.

The rest of the day passed with little incident, we had a bit of a squeeze into one lock, and the killer geese had to be treated carefully.



We made it through the 17 locks, 4 aqueducts and countless skinny bridges to get onto the Grand Union and heading east before swinging south again.
