Foxton Locks

We are expecting a visit from Keith and Leesa on Sunday so decided that we would moor at the bottom of Foxton Locks for the weekend. The Foxton Locks Inn looks like a good place to eat and there is easy access to the canal by car.

Today's journey was a short uneventful one apart from a minor excursion into the bushes on the offside by me after Foxton swing bridge. Morgana didn't want to behave herself and refused to turn towards the towpath, perhaps she didn't want to pick Ray up!

We did think about taking Morgana to the top of the locks tomorrow but the forecast is for showers so we think we will leave it until Monday.

Today's journey 4.1 miles and 1 swing bridge
