Back in familiar territory

Today almost had that "end of holiday" feel to it. After eighteen months of travelling canals that were mostly new territory we reached Brauston and were back on the Grand Union South where we have travelled before, not only on or outgoing journey last year but also on holiday when we were moored at Nottingham, when we brought Destiny down to Watford and when we first acquired Morgana.

The glorious weather continues and we journied up through Braunston Locks, through the tunnel and then continued down through the locks Buckby Locks. We had company for all of the locks, just as well because BW are asking you to wait up to an hour before you go through alone due to water shortages. The levels don't seem to be low but we do as we are told! We moored eventually at Weedon after a tiring day's cruising.

Today's journey 13.1 miles, 13 locks and 1 tunnel

So far this year we have travelled 394 miles, 371 locks, 34 lift bridges and 14 tunnels

Since Ray retired we have travelled 1124.7 miles, 1018 locks, 55 swing bridges, 38 lift bridges and 39 tunnels
