Pre-Crick: Day 1

We are able to set off for Crick a bit earlier this year (or kind of set off, anyway).  I came up to the boat after a Breakfast shift, and Adrian came from home; I arrived just after 11 and had time to re-set the loo before Adrian got here about 45 minutes later.  We unloaded the car, then went to Tesco in Wolverton for a big food shop.  We had lunch back at the boat, during which there was a feeble attempt at rain, and then set off at 2pm.  We turned right out of the marina, which is the opposite way to Crick!  We were soon at Cosgrove lock, which was in our favour and with a gate open, and going down.


We moored up on the aqueduct moorings, which were quite busy, and a boat coming the other way immediately pulled in behind us.  This afternoon Adrian has been doing some work, and I went for a walk round the Ouse Valley Park, where one of the grazing areas was occupied by lovely grey ponies.  Of course one of them thought the grass was greener on the other side of the fence.



1 mile, 1 lock.

That pony was right, no doubt about it!
