Braunston.

Lots of shiny brasswork again.........much better!

It now seems that the tunnel has been open for a day already. Not too many people seem to know that, judging by the boats waiting here.





The line continues around the corner and away.





Another icing up of the canal this morning, but after the first boat came through it was all gone once more. This pattern should be coming to an end soon, fingers crossed, touch wood and all that.






The late afternoon/early evening sun is very welcome but that sky has a certain look about it.








The Swan was winning this race easily.

We have recently braved the bus into Daventry again for supplies, and yet again we met people off the canal........... Busy old place this!




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

Hi
Zulu Warrior is one of those boats waiting to head South, so now the tunnel is open I wonder if you have met anyone who has made it the other way through Buckby Locks which are according to Waterscape.com still closed until Monday mid day?

I would appreciate any updates!

ps. Passed you last weekend - will keep an eye open for you tomorrow.
