– Linslade, Grand Union Canal
I stayed at Fenny Stratford and this morning had a late start. No excitement like Saturday just a run to
here with locks at Stoke Hammond (which has to be left empty), the Soulbury
Three (the pub was having its sewage system overhauled and was a bit smelly –
just like a pump-out) and Leighton to break the journey.
I moored on the Tesco moorings (2 hours only) but the visitor moorings were
occupied by one of the Hotel widebeam boats so after a brief trip into town I continued
to the moorings after bridge 114. I managed
to get a mooring chain between two of the rails along the bank for the stern
but the one for the bow went in then coiled up on itself. Fortunately there was a rope loop I could fix
to but was unable to remove the bow chain in spite of a couple of hours pulling
which did free some of the links.
