I was up fairly early, and drove up to Crick arriving before 9. My press pass got me in then, before the gates opened at 10 — and I met up with Andy the photographer. We were able to look at a few boats before the crowds arrived. With there being far fewer boats on show this year, we we all done by about 1.30, even allowing for a tea break and a pizza for lunch, so I headed back to Briar Rose. It was raining, but not too heavily, so we left the marina and headed down to Cosgrove, turning round above the lock and mooring in the village — just so we had a better view.
I began writing up the mini boat reviews, then when the rain had stopped we went for a walk down past the lock to the aqueduct and beyond.
There will be more writing later, in an effort to get the whole thing done as soon as possible.
1 mile, 0 locks.
