Leighton Buzzard



Leighton Buzzard, Grand Union Canal – Thursday 2 May 2013
Another 07:45 start with 9 locks (evenly spaced) and 5 miles scheduled.  The sun has been out all day with almost no clouds – another shirt off day!  There has been some activity with boats going the opposite way.  The holiday season must be starting – a ‘Black Prince’ holiday boat was out.  Having moored up I then noticed that the boat next to me had a Moorhen busy building a nest in one of the tyres used as a fender, the owner knew this and has already reported to C&RT as he cannot move his boat while the bird is there.
I have moored here for the weekend as tomorrow I have a trip into ‘the smoke’ to attend the annual meeting of the London Transport Old Comrades Association.
