Braunston to Hargreaves Bridge.

On the move again!

Tuesday afternoon........we are getting ready to move down to the only working water point, when, once again, out of nowhere a boat suddenly appeared.

Guess where it went?

Two hours later we were reversing away from the point.

This was down to the most feeble dribble of water emerging from the end of the hose we had ever seen. But, water is water no matter how slow it might be, and time, we have enough of it to spare.

We were going back to our mooring, but as we passed the junction and looked along the canal towards Napton, the wanderlust took over.

  1. Full tank of water......Check.
  2. Full tank of fuel.........Check.
  3. Full log box..............Check.
  4. Enough bags of coal....Check.
  5. Full gas bottles..........Check.
  6. Empty waste tank......Check.
  7. Full wine rack...........Check.
  8. Full fridge...............Check.

Lets go!!

We carved our way through the already shattered ice and found a nice little spot all on our lonesome out in the country.The weather guessers had gone for heavy snow overnight, so, it would have to warm up a bit before that could happen leaving us with less chance of being iced in.


The morning was soon upon us, and what a morning it was.








You can still see the tracks in the ice from yesterday.









We are going to stay out here for tonight and see what comes along tomorrow.




Until next time..................................
