Date - 25 April 2007 Day - Wednesday Start - Napton Engine Arm 1615 End - Fenny Compton Wharf 1925
We arrived at the boat and immediately winded her and reversed back to the lock so we could load up. We moored just above the lock moorings but even so a hire boat coming down stopped above us and walked down to work the lock, I may have well been on the lock mooring and saved walking the extra bit. We pushed off at quarter past four and just as we approached Marston Dole bottom lock a boat was coming out. We didn't see another boat on the move until we reached Wormleighton and then we met another couple. The working boat Bletchely was moored just above Marston Dole top lock and was advertising diesel at 48p/lt unfortunately there was no one about or I would have bought 150 lt. Shortly before Wormleighton a cow on the offside had just had twins, one of them was snow white. At Fenny there is the normal collection of boats not displaying a valid licence on the long term BW moorings, we have slipped in at the beginning of the 14 day moorings just after the pub. -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit this site and help save our waterways http://www.savethewaterways.org.uk/
