Off to Claydon

Wednesday 11th September 

You saw the strip of sunlight last night now look at it today.

A lovely day for cruising along and the captain took the tiller. 

We had forgotten about HS2 and its impact on the canal.

It's still a mixture of rain and sun but not unpleasant. 

Unfortunately, the captain got caught out at a tricky turn through a bridge and we nudged a couple of bushes on the offside of the canal. Bit of a mess up front but no damage done. In fact, quite the opposite.

Looks like blackberry and apple crumble on the menu soon.

And, talking of menus, just around the next corner at Fenny Compton Wharf, the Wharf Inn. 

We're both wearing our Polgara sweat shirts.

Luckily for us it decided to rain quite heavily while we were eating. Of course, that's the only reason we went there in the first place!

After lunch we moved on to the top of Claydon locks and here are a couple of photos of the view from the boat.
