Gayton



Here I am Rune
Distance 1.9 miles
Total 461 Locks 9 Tunnels
Running total mileage 626.8 miles

Probably not the most challenging day’s travel, a mere 1.9 miles and no locks, on the plus side however we’ve stocked up from Northampton shops ,emptied the toilet and filled the water tank so it hasn’t been a complete waste! The deciding factor however was that as we were finishing clearing up lunch preparing to move off our now famous ‘slow’ boat came past and rather than spend the rest of the afternoon sitting behind him we decided to take the afternoon off and enjoy the sun.

We still have plenty of time to get to Debdale Marina for the blacking and may take time out elsewhere to kill a bit more time. The mooring we have found for the night seems comfortable although perhaps a little close to the railway line but after travelling the Kennet and Avon we are well used to that.

Time to go back outside and enjoy the sun methinks.
