Wed 24 Sep
Well guess who left his laptop at home, so the trip report is running 5 days late.
We arrived at the boat around lunch time and were away at quarter past two leaving the marina and turning right. As we passed Barby Moorings I rescued a sheep who spent the night on our roof.
We could only go as far as the winding hole just beyond bridge 74, shortly before the bridge was a lone Calcutt hire boat, moored for the night. Hillmorton locks are still closed so this was the last place we could turn. Looking back at bridge 74 it was good to see that CRT had seen fit to place this sign.
We made our way back to bridge 75 to moor for the night. Bridge 75 is looking quite poorly with large cracks in a the spandrel walls.
Diana went for a walk along the towpath and came back with half a kilo of sloes for the sloe gin. It’s been a bumper year for them this year but lots look quite small.
