Wednesday 5th December 2007

Location: Braunston, Northamptonshire, Grand Union

Today: 10 miles, 3 locks. Total distance: 938 miles.  Total locks: 614

Showery day, mild. Good t-mobile 3g reception here.

Pulled the pins at 09:30 and bimbled down to Braunston with the intention of visiting the Old Plough for a meal tonight.

It has been a very blustery day but at least the rain mostly held off.

Heard a shout and saw a friendly face just as we were passing the Bluehaven marina at Hillmorton. It was Dominic from abnb, now ex of abnb. Stopped for a quick chat. Dominic has now started up his own business (Rugby Boats) and is operating from Hillmorton Wharf. All the very best Dominic, it was a great pleasure dealing with you when I bought Ten Bob Note from abnb almost two years ago now.

Stopped off at Braunston marina to pick up a cylinder of gas. We were charged  £18.81 – gas must have gone up???

Current mooring

Very handy sign !!!
