Again away a little after 10 and met boats on a regular basis. Our first stop was Brownsover to visit Tesco. I got my days wrong so now we are onboard longer than planned. There were very few boat moored here in what is normally a popular spot, maybe all the boats we met left this morning. A little over an hour later and we were on our way again and were soon at Newbold, again very few moored boats and we didn’t even meet anyone in the tunnel. Over the past few days we have knowingly met two professional boat movers, they may have been more. As we passed through All Oaks Wood I could see a collection of CRT work boats ahead. Its a pity they didn’t leave them all singled out as I went well aground passing the breasted pair.
They are piling just North of the woods in front of the concrete edging, so I can only assume that its breaking away below the water level. Again plenty of room to moor. I thought I had seen just about every conceivable type of fly tipping but someone has put a complete cruiser in the ditch behind the tow path and a load of concrete slabs have been laid like a patio.
We went to the far end of the piling before mooring for the night. Tomorrow we have booked Sunday Lunch at the Greyhound , never booked ahead before when boating, hope we get there on time.
