Countryside....Calcutt....Countryside.
New plan! 



We spent a good part of yesterday sitting in the cratch soaking up the sunshine and trying to decide exactly what we are going to be doing this winter.
One thing that was absolutely definite is that we are not going to be doing the Braunston, Hillmorton, Rugby circuit this year.



"Off we go to the Shroppie then" is the new plan A.

So........after a cruise to turn around and get back to Calcutt Boats where we picked up some lovely spares for our BMC, we started the journey to our chosen wintering grounds.

Braunston first!

It was another great day for being out on the water today, it seemed that whichever way we were going every other boat was going in the opposite direction.

In and.......

out of this oh so picturesque bridge.

The late afternoon/early evening sun was like a spotlight on the countryside today, some places were bathed in light while others were totally ignored.
These two were directly opposite our mooring for the night.




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

Just bear in mind that Hack Green Locks are closing on 8th November until 22nd December cutting you off from Llangollen, so you will need to be through there by then ;-)

Hi Sue,

Yes, once we are through there we should have a fairly easy time of it stoppage wise.

Freezing over of the canal though is the spanner in the works.


Regards Chris.
