Foxton top lock

Another day of no wind and very misty, The boat ahead started his engine OK this morning and left about 9-45
We only met two boats, one before the tunnel and one at the outskirts of Foxton. The weather did clear for a very short time about lunch time, with a bit of blue sky visible, but it only lasted a few minutes before clamping down again.
I am not sure who or what was behind this drinking trough on the towpath. This was taken in the few minutes the fog had lifted for.

One of the boats moored just outside Foxton had an ole AJS on the back deck. You don’t see many of them about these days. A real bike.

  Foxton is the busiest place we have seen for moored boats and as expected walkers.We managed to tuck in just beyond the last bridge so I hope the road isn’t to bad overnight.
After lunch we wandered down the flight and half of the side pounds are almost dry, then must leak like sieves.
