Slow boat to Welford

Wednesday 16 September 2009

Its that time again when we need to take BB to Les at Welford for her 2 yearly black bottoming session and a general hull tidy up. It will take about 5 days so we also planned to visit friends Bury and Uttoxeter.

The weather was cloudy but otherwise good for boating with chilly evenings so the fire was lit just for the evenings

After it must be nearly 2 years BW have started work on the Braunston tunnel slip which presumably means they have to stabilise the ground first and put in drainage before they can move the obstruction.


View back to the land slide as you enter- which seems to be moving further across the entrance.

An unusual group of back to back cows



Its a big hole and site as they work on the new marina at Yelvertoft (near bridge18)
