8am start today. Because it was early in the day we could see right through Braunston tunnel, and we only met one boat coming the other way.
After that it started to get busy going down the locks at Braunston, and for the rest of the day.
Moored for lunch right outside the Royal Oak, Hillmorton. It's now a Hungry Horse pub but does have Cask Marque accreditation so the beer was good even if it was only Green King IPA and Abott.
Shortly after lunch we passed Kyamanzi from Brinklow marina, so the school holidays must have started in the area.
Moored for the night at Newbold. Due the nature of the bank I had to use the two 'tyre' fenders as spacers and springs at both ends.
Went to the Crown for a meal, which was disappointing compared to their sunday lunch, and especially after some excellent meals we've had elsewhere.
