Bulbourne

Bulbourne, Grand Union Canal – Thursday 08 August 2013

Start out at 08:00 in beautiful sunshine and quietly passed Berkhamstead’s moored boats (although there were boat-length gaps).  I met only a couple of boats and the locks have to be left empty so were in my favour.  At the Tring summit there were a couple of high speed jet planes zooming around, they were doing acrobatics and I suppose could easily be high quality models as their colouring was white and fluorescent orange.  The greenery along this stretch is badly in need of cutting back, in places there is no passing room.  Of course boats approach just as you reach these narrow bits.  I moored at Bulbourne to discover that I have lost a roof hook and a side fender (oh bother).
