Trip to Market Harborough

Saturday, 30 August 2008

We are back on the boat as we needed to take her to Welford to sort out the noise around the engine area. We have replaced the python drive and are due to replace the engine mounts next Tuesday so hopefully this should cure the problem.

The weather continues to be dull and miserable although yesterday when we came down Foxton flight it was really humid with some sunshine but no rain as yet.

We are now moored in the old Wharf at Market Harborough which is really nice. MH is a haven for cappuccinos!!!!!! and is now on my list.

A few pictures from our travels.

A good use of an old tree stump seen on the walk from Welford Wharf into Welford village.

You usually see a line of geese , swans have now got in on the act.

Anne bringing the boat down through the last 5 of the 10 locks at Foxton.

Heard a strange sound as we arrived at the bottom of the locks when a piper appeared out of the trees!

Good name for a boat -


After Welford next Tuesday we then plan to go down to Gayton junction before returning to Base, maybe able to post from my phone, signal permitting, as this is being done from library in MH.
