Theddingworth



Here I am Rune
Distance 10.6 miles
Total 475 Locks 11 Tunnels
Running total mileage 658.7 miles

Another gentle day’s travel, although we have covered over 10 miles which is quite good for us. Stopped off at the chandlers by bridge 45,North Kilworth Wharf, to get a replacement seal for the weed hatch. Noticed this 2 days ago at Crick when I took off the weed hatch to remove someone’s  T-shirt that was wrapped around the propeller, the seal wasn’t in a good condition and was disintegrating. If it fails altogether it tends to fill the engine compartment with water so felt it would be advisable to remedy the problem!

Tomorrow we reach Foxton Locks for the second time in RUNE and on this occasion I will try to remember that there is a bit of a kink between the upper 5 locks and the lower 5 locks, last time managed to collide (gently) with the lock entrance as I hadn’t realised this.
