Flecknoe

Away from Napton  cruising early, at Napton Junction the canal merges in to the Grand Union Canal till Braunston Turn, we weren't going that far today, we moored after bridge 103 Flecknoe farm is behind a high towpath hedge, opposite is the rolling farmland of Red House farm 

View from the hatch.

The paint brushes have been in use again, a different colour paint this time. The seat lockers in the cratch and the front bulkhead needed attention. My usual process was followed, a good going over with the orbital sander any stubborn rust areas then blitz with a paint stripping disc on a angle grinder, then hand rubbed with wet&dry paper. 

A coat of rust converter/ primer before an undercoat, when dry a gentle rub with wet& dry, I used 600 grit, dust wiped away with white spirit then the top coat applied.
