Now there's an idea ... not sure it will get through many bridges!

Until today I had never driven a day boat. Now I'm hooked! So much more responsive than our narrowboat!!!

Great fun

The pound below Stoke Bruerne locked locks being filled from the River Tove - fuller than it was thanks to recent rain

Clouds, rain clouds 👏 The joy of being woken this morning by rain hammering on the roof - at last!

He's lovely - hope we can meet in person one day. Here's Boatdog taking the last locks easy before they were closed on the Grand Union

We did it! Nb Siskin heading through the top lock at Stoke Bruerne before today's closure- 109 miles 90 locks since Wednesday morning. Our boat is where we want to be - at the bottom of the flight so we can cruise from here

And we're off the tidal Thames into London on the GU.

Now how far can we get before the closures?

These locks seem to be getting longer and wider! Getting my steps in when they're self service!

Monty the boathorse. See in the second pic how far away from the laden boat he needs to be to pull it

I was very disappointed with this WH segment - nothing on the Two Women One Boat story but think I'd love to boat wherever Jo Bell is based. The men are obviously very respected there!
