Foxton (2)



Here I am
Distance 0.6 miles
Total 1501 Locks 73 Tunnels
Running total mileage 2131.6miles 

Just a short hop up through Foxton Locks today and that has been it, the fifth time we have passed through them in RUNE and this time with no great drama other than a bit of rain to deal with. Interestingly the volunteer Lock keeper told us that the short pound between the two flights does catch quite a few people out since the water swirls around in it going in a clockwise direction which tends to throw you off line as you aim for the next flight. After the bump on the first time through I seem to have now ‘mastered’ it OK and we passed through without any significant knocks.

Not sure what the plan for tomorrow is, depends on the weather.
