We are both not too keen on this canal, although there are no locks there is very little else in the way of facilities for boaters either. Water points are as rare as Hens Teeth so are proper moorings, its very different to the BW waterways which we are glad to get back to.
Its very high though, giving great views as you sail through the rooftops.
Another bridge to stop the traffic, this was a very busy road and it was operated by a bridge keeper. As we approached he was waving away trying to speed us up as a huge queue had already formed, but speed is not an option on a narrowboat I'm afraid, its more of a serene glide.
The drivers eyes did seem to be boring into us as they glared and glared, cant think why.
Very old iron bridge named Abram, it is a wonder how these bridges have survived modern day traffic, it carries another very busy road over the canal.
A more modern bridge here which is also the border back to BW waterways.
Some more of the little darlings.
When we were choosing a mooring spot for the night we came across the right place but on the tow path side there were lots of motorbike tracks, so being clever we moored on the other side next to a field with lots of trees.
When we were settled in our chairs on the bank eating dinner in the sun is when the two Bulls came towards us from the trees.
Now this was interesting, what do you do? run for the boat or stay still and hope. We sat still, very still, very very still. Thankfully they had a good look at us munched some grass and went away.
Note to self: Check fields for Bulls "before" mooring.
So until tomorrow....................................
