We had a quiet night at Campbell Park, and this morning was much better than forecast. We set off just before 9, and crawled past all the moored boats most of the way home! There was an unintended pause at New Bradwell, where there are boats moored on the offside and there was a boat coming the other way, and we got stuck on a rock or something, a meter or so from the towpath. It took quite an effort to get us moving again. The house with the tower by the next bridge now has a huge hole in the garden and another extension going up.
At Cosgrove Lock, Walhalla, the big widebeams was coming down. I did a boat test on it back in 2012. As there was a boat on the water point, I waited before the narrows so he had room to come past.
We we all secure in our berth in under four hours, then we had lunch and headed home. While we were eating the rain arrived, and it was a pretty wet drive home.
8 miles, 1 lock. (17 miles, 2 locks)
