Braunston to Ladder Bridge.

Friday was a short cruise down to the bottom of the Napton Flight for a Happy Friday drink with our cruising pals Bev & Roly. We get sent a Happy Friday drink picture from our friends where ever they are most Fridays ...it's become a tradition.. not always snapped in a bar but usually they are..... below we received yesterday.

Saturday we were up early setting off in sunshine with no wind weather. Deposited our dumpables at the facilities below the first of nine locks today. Destination was Ladder Bridge 5 miles further south.

Some pictures of the journey:
