Ivinghoe Beacon Day 9

Thursday 8 September 2011

Had a really good 3g signal tonight so managed to get up to date with the blog at last - to date we have done 55 miles and 33 locks. We are now moored near Bridge 123 ready to go down to Marsworth Junction tomorrow. The water levels have not been too bad with only a few of the short pound between locks being a little low. I checked with BW and the Aylesbury Arm is open but they warn that there will be very low sections. Not sure therefore if we will go down it. When we get to the junction tomorrow we will take a walk to check it out.


A Zulu type hat could it be Michael Caine!

Some of the wide locks had narrow locks next to themto speed up traffic when only one boat being used. They are now all filled in but the bridge holes are still around
