Blisworth to Stoke Bruerne. 2 Locks and 1 Tunnel.

A very short day today as the wind was still "giving it large" through here.







Wandering up into the Village once more I remembered to take the camera this time.
This house strikes me as very odd indeed the more I look at it. So many questions.




Off we went back to the shower tube.





This time though, it was nowhere near as wet as we knew it, a few drizzles from the vents was just about it.
I did try this time to find the mysterious chamber that is on the left from this end, there are plenty of tales about it and maybe a few elaborations too.
Having seen it before I had a rough idea of where it is, but once again ......"there it was, gone"...... missed it! and there was no way I was reversing back. Maybe next time and hopefully there will be a picture.


Out of the gloom and into what would be the first of only two locks today.

This was the first lock that D ever worked through, being nervous at the time and not wanting to make a mistake she was relieved to see that there was nobody around.

That was until we started to wind the paddles!!! Then people seemed to come out of the woodwork, it all went well in the end though.

We have stopped for a ritual "Chainsawing" to clear the roof this afternoon. Once that was done neither of us really wanted to move on again into the wind....... so we didn't, fire on, bottle open and a nice comfy chair.

The much better option.

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