nb Ten Bob Note

Date: Thursday 3rd June 2010

Location: Braunston, Northamptonshire

Miles today: 18 -- Locks today: 13 -- Total miles: 2868  -- Total Locks: 1852

Another hot and busy day today.

It was warm work at the Buckby and Braunston flights and the cool of the Braunston tunnel was welcome.

Not much in the way of free spaces in Braunston so we eventually moored up on the Oxford Canal just north of the village.

UPDATE Saturday 4th
Wandered up to the village Post Office to pick up the new oil pressure sensor. The sensor is now fitted and the problem appears to be cured – fingers crossed.

Solar panels are working well in this sunny weather

3 x 80 Watt panels deliver around 10 Amps on a good sunny day.

Could really do with another 3 panels though to make them useful on dull days

Frightening........
