To Crick: Day 19

With the Tidys stuck below Watford Locks last night, we ended up walking back to see them, just a mile away. Helen cooked a lovely dinner, and we had plenty of stuff to talk about. 

A lazy start to the day, and we had scrambled eggs and mushrooms on toast for breakfast.  We didn’t set off until around 10am, and we soon approaching Crick Tunnel.


At the far side of the tunnel the moorings for the show start, and a moorings manager pointed us to our space. The mobile signal is dire.  We walked up the towpath and found the Tidys, and wandered up to the village, and then over to the show site where set up was in full swing.  Lunch was a nice toasted sandwich at the Magnolia Cafe.

Back at the boat our neighbours had arrived, and we spent some time helping them tie up so they didn’t swing back and forth as boats went past.

2 miles, 0 locks. (111 miles, 132 locks)

Magnolia's looks interesting, not spotted it before. We'll see if there's enough water when we head a south to go that way.
