Little Leigh To Marbury Country Park. 2 Tunnels.






Coat and hat but no gloves this time............ an improvement.










Our overnight mooring afforded us great views over the Weaver navigation and beyond.
Setting off into a lovely bright morning the weather pattern repeated itself and the rain was soon with us once more.
Looking back through the boats log this is exactly the same as last year and by the twenty seventh we had the fire alight to combat the damp. Ooooerrrrr!





There are places to moor along the canals and places where you have to be fairly short of the little grey cells to even consider leaving a boat.
Practically blocking an overgrown Bridge Hole must come under the no little grey cells category. Privately owned as well.





Two tunnels for today, the first and shortest being a time controlled entry, we made the entrance window with three minutes to spare.
An ensuing forty minute wait in the rain otherwise.

The second is a bit of hit and hope, there is no way you can see if another boat is already in there until you go in yourself, if there is it means reversing out. Thankfully we were all alone.

It gets very crowded around here, these boats are on BW moorings but you still have to push through the trees to get past.

Well........... here it is, the first sign we have come across. A strange thing standing in the pouring rain taking a picture of a hose pipe ban sign.

This is water saving tip No 5, No 6 is below but I ran out of batteries.
No 6 is this little pearl of wisdom......"Make sure you turn the tap off when finished".

I am glad that sign was there or I might not have thought to do that. Thanks BW.

Water saving tips for BW.
No 1, Fix all the leaking gates.
No need for any more tips.

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