Newbold



Here I am Rune
Distance 11.3 miles
Total 1690 Locks 86 Tunnels
Running total mileage 2429.7 miles 

A longer day today to get us to the outskirts of Rugby at Newbold so that we will be OK for the weekend shop. Temperature has dropped a bit today and for a period we were travelling through a shower of sleet. Forecast for tomorrow gives the possibility of snow as well so at least if it is too bad we can pretty much stay where we are.

It is funny how, no matter how few boats there are travelling on a given day you can almost guarantee that if you meet one it will be in the most inopportune moment. Today we only passed one other boat on the move, we met on a blind corner by bridge 17 needing a lot of reverse to avoid a head on collision. Other than that the day was without any real drama.
