It started raining yesterday evening and I don’t think it stopped until about 3pm today.
The weather forecast said it would stop raining at 10am. so we got ready and set off at quarter to, but they lied, it didn’t stop raining, not only that it was blowing half a gale.
When we came this way last week the water was almost up to the concrete towpath edging near Welford Junction, with all the rain last night it is now topped over.
I pushed on into the wind and weather catching up to a hire boat with him and her both out on the cruiser stern, they were going so slow even on tick over I was gaining on them. With the wind and weather they didn’t have a clue I was there so a quick toot and they pulled over, from the comment the steerer made the boat wouldn’t go any faster.
After over an hour the weather was showing no sign of improvement and just after bridge 33 I spotted a reasonably sheltered length of piling, so that was it for the day.
