Stoke Bruerne



Stoke Bruerne, Grand Union Canal – Tuesday 7 May 2013
Up at 06:30 as a couple of the locals (on residential moorings) were taking their boats down to the water point.  Headed off at 08:10 and finished at 14:40 having covered 16 miles and 1 lock at Cosgrove.  I had intended to stop at Cosgrove but the weather was so good I kept going and the miles just slid by.  The canal has reverted to the quiet of last week after the Bank Holiday with only about a dozen boats out.  Again the weather has been superb - another no vest day!
Tomorrow it is the Stoke Bruerne flight of 7 locks followed by the Blisworth Tunnel.
