Stoke Bruerne Bottom Lock, Grand Union Canal – Tuesday 22 May 2012
The phone has again reset itself!  I now have full coverage and all my contacts are back, this is confusing me.
On the move again, left Wolverton at 9:15 and headed towards the only lock today at Cosgrove.  Took the opportunity to do some washing while travelling, and refilled the water tank at the lock.  After this the canal meanders towards Stoke Bruerne, which is my stop for the day.  A total of nine lock-miles.  I have moored below the bottom lock of a run of seven, which I will start tomorrow morning (9:30 open time, as the restrictions are still in operation)  The weather has been wonderful – clear blue skies with a hint of haze, the maximum temperature on the boat is 34.  Locals tell me this will be it for the week.  The change in the weather has brought more boats out (unless it’s just because I’m near Wyvern Shipping).  I spent time washing the roof of the boat to remove the bird sh**.  When I’m nearer to Crick I will have to give the whole boat a clean.
