The Boat

Today we set off for Long Itchington.

We had to traverse the Avon on an Aquaduct. Strange to think we were on it 3 days ago and if certain groups are successful it will be navigable to here and a boat lift will link it to the canal.





The locks on the Grand Union were all updated in the 1930s to double locks. They are very daunting.



I was very disappointed that the lock moorings are overgrown with nettles and getting stung is not an option, it is unavoidable. Surely this is a real safety hazard and CRT should be doing something about it.



We made it to Long Itchington but all the moorings were taken so we have moored up at The Boat.

I had to check that there was a gluten free meal for Kenny and the pub pooch stole my chair.
