Braunston Tunnel (West), Grand Union – Sunday 30 September 2012
Again I left at 08:00 in sunshine but it soon clouded over.  Hilmorton locks were all in my favour so an easy run through them.  It was a steady journey with only a bit of interest at Bridges 79 & 80 where the bridges are being re-built by C&RT.  The canal is down to one boat’s width to allow the work and, of course, there were boats coming the opposite way at both.  I moored by the ‘Stop House’ in Braunston while waiting for friends, then we went on through the six locks.  Today’s run was 9 locks and 10 miles and tomorrow I start by going through the tunnel.
