Alcatraz!
The lazy day was followed by what should have been a heavy lock day, 12 between Kilby and the long pound to Foxton (although no paddle locks, now). But we were lucky enough to team up with a young couple out for a week, so shared the work through all 12.
Cranes Lock
Seen better days!
This made the run a lot quicker than expected, so we arrived at our mooring at about 13:00. Pleasant spot, just past Ross Bridge no 74 with good TV and Satellite reception. A short walk into Fleckney gives you a Co-op, chemist and PO. Had a swan come to visit while I was washing up after dinner. So tame he’d take bread from your hand.
Hungry Swan
Another beautiful day, with a gentle breeze to just take the edge off the heat.
4 miles, 12 locks.
