Started before 9 in order to get to Gayton for lunch. Stopped briefly to empty the loo at Gayton junction then on down the Northampton Arm to Gayton Marina. Here we filled up with fuel. Unfortunately they managed to get 87l in. Unfortunate because it was 96p/l! Bought a 31 day Environment Agency licence too and some Fuelset.
Then we moored opposite the marina and walked to Milton Malsor where we ate in the Greyound. This turned out to be a Chef and Brewer pub, the one that Mark took me to after looking at Freedom for him.
Partly due to slow service at lunch we were late setting off down the locks to Northampton. However we made good progress, but we worked hard to do it and arrived in Northampton much earlier than expected. Moored at Cotton End wharf. Went for a drink in the Malt Shovel then to eat in the Wetherspoons. Then to the Lamplighter, which is closed Sunday evenings, Racehorse, and finally to the Wig and Pen.
