Today we left Weedon Bec and made our way to Gayton Junction where we could have turned left and gone north through Northampton or straight on towards Milton Keynes, we stopped to use the C.A.R.T facilities turned the boat on the ropes and went back the way came (just getting used to the way the boat handles at the moment you see). Was an easy run of about 8 miles in cloudy skies with an occasional blustery wind, the boat handles as it should and we had no problems.
We are now moored close to the village of Gayton, Sheppard's pie in the oven, Sue is fishing (caught a dace earlier) and I'm doing this blog. It's very peacefull here apart from Tricky Dickys inter city trains in the distance
Have some photos but my connection is poor and the blog wont upload them.
Tomorrow we should make it to Braunston and our first lock.
