Leighton Buzzard



Wednesday 30 April 2014 – Leighton Buzzard, Grand Union Canal
A quiet run to Leighton Buzzard – I did not meet up with another boat so had the run to myself.  A couple of holiday boats and a working pair were all I saw going the other way.  At Grove Lock a widebeam had moored on the first two lock bollards so a bit of reversing was called for before I could tie up, some boaters are inconsiderate.
During the evening a canoe club went past, followed by a young novice under instruction from mum in another canoe and dad on the towpath, he seemed to be getting confused from the two sets of instructions as he kept going into the weeds.
A glorious sunny day with the sun hiding behind clouds only a couple of times, I was even down to “vest off” for part of the journey.
