Fri 25 Aug - Weedon Bec

Main activity today was a trip to Stoke Bruerne, Towcester (pronounced Toaster) for a trip on the Grand Union Canal in a narrow boat.

Only problem - the boat company had packed it in for the day.

Still Stoke Bruerne was beautiful ...


... and it was interesting to see and read about the 2.813km Blisworth Tunnel built in the late 1700's and opened in 1805


and to see another narrow boat navigate through a lock 


And then a quick drink in The Navigation - a gorgeous pub on the bank of the canal.  Btw - I'm having a half pint of shandy just about everywhere I go! 😀
