We took advantage of the weather to continue our journey as far as Leighton Buzzard, from here onwards, at least for a while we have more miles than locks which makes for easier travelling.
There were surprisingly few boats on the move considering it is Sunday and the start of the holidays. We weren't the only ones enjoying the sunshine, this heron at Seabrook Locks seemed more interested in enjoying the sun than fishing.
A pretty uneventful day, tomorrow is the empty rubbish/fill water tank/do a bit of shopping day. If we make an early start we might get all that done and still reach Milton Keynes.
Today's journey 4.2 miles and 9 locks
So far this year we have travelled 43.1 miles, 75 locks and 2 swing bridges
