Bit of a short post today as it is far too hot and sunny to be sitting in here and also we are only retracing our steps of late.
You can't stop nature, this lump of polystyrene came floating past us this morning complete with growing greenery. I mean, this is a lump of polystyrene, no nutritional value whatsoever yet these plants/weeds/trees have found a home bobbing about on the navigation. Amazing!
I know,I know, I put one of these on here the other day but you have to admit they are quite something. If you stare at this one for a while it almost looks like a Praying Mantis waiting to pounce.
Through our last huge lock of the day, that stick standing on the right is D. These are all automatic on the fill cycle so once the button is pressed you are at the mercy of the lock itself.
There are four ground sluices along the length which open one after the other from front to back. This keeps you on your toes trying to stop the boat slamming into the opposite wall and then going back to do the same again on the wall you have just left. Its all good!
Okay then I am off to enjoy the sun for a while,
Until tomorrow......................

Hi Chris & Debbie,
It's quite simple to add a blogger list - just sign in to your blog & you should see a heading 'add a gadget' Click on it and scroll down to 'blog list' & click.
once box is open the instructions are fairly clear ( must be if I can do it!). Don't forget to click save before viewing blog or all your hard work will have been in vain!
Interesting following your experience trying to get onto the Ouse, something we want to do maybe later this year to get to Ripon. Obviously not something to be undertaken lightly.
Julia & Mark
