Autherley Junction

Well last night was the opposite of the night before, when we went to bed the deck was covered in ice and when we set off this morning it was raining. We didn’t leave quite as early as normal as we didn’t have far to go, only Autherley Junction, tomorrow its the 21 and its forecast to rain. We didn’t have much rain today, just a few light showers and the only other boats we saw on the move were these kids in their canoes.DSCF7476

I noticed that some of the bridges, instead of having a cast number on them have a hand painted black wooden plaque.DSCF7475

One thing I spotted at Four Ashes was this old telephone wire pole or GPO pole which still has a couple of insulators on it, there are a few around the system where they and not easily accusable to remove.DSCF7471

As the day progressed the wind increased and although the actual temperature was quite high for the time of year the wind made it feel cold.
