A look at the M1

Tuesday 21st 

Immediately after setting off is Crick Tunnel. The tunnel is only 1528 yds long and takes about 15 minutes to get through. 

This is the lighter end of the tunnel, otherwise it's pitch black the whole time. Believe it or not but the tunnel is wide enough for boats to pass each other, lucky for us as we passed two other boats on our way through. 

That's it, safely out the other side. 

Great to see mother duck with about 10 babies. They were all flitting about and wouldn't stop still for a proper photo! 

We carried on to the top of the Watford flight but turned round just before the canal went under the M1. Didn't want to be contaminated by so called civilisation. 

Moored for the night in a quiet place.

All still with nothing but the sound of sheep and a low hum of traffic in the distance. 

Sausages in cider for supper, one of our favourites.
