Grove



Here I am Rune
Distance 6.3miles
Total 1795 Locks 88 Tunnels
Running total mileage 2600.0 miles

A sedate trip through from Stoke Hammond to a place called Grove taking in Leighton Buzzard on the way. Since it was such a pleasant day there were a lot of walkers on the towpath and ‘Gongoozlers’ at the locks but surprisingly few boats on the move. At Soulbury Locks we were helped through by a volunteer who told us that only six boats had passed through by the time we went through (about 11.30am).

 Given how fabulous the weather is I am surprised at the lack of movement.
We are now about a day from the Marsworth Junction where we will be turning off to head for Aylesbury. The plan was to be there next weekend but we seem a bit ahead of schedule.
