Another early start, though it was just after 6:30 this time. The sky was overcast and it was a bit chilly, but we expected it to warm up later. After a couple of hours we reached the bottom of the Stoke Bruerne flight. Rather oddly some of them were empty and some full, but we were at the top in about 90 mins. Then it was into the 3057 yard long Blisworth tunnel. By the time we came out the sky was blue and the sun shining

By one o’clock we had moored up on the embankment by the church at Weedon Bec, a spot we had shared with Uncle Mort previously.
