Billing Aquadrome to Gayton

Set off at 840. When we got to Billing lock there were 2 boats just going up. The pound above the lock which was quite low yesterday had now filled up. By the time we were in the lock Orchid II appeared and joined us. We shared locks as far as the sanitary station in Northampton where they stopped.

Went through the first lock onto the canal to moor and went for lunch in the Malt Shovel.

After lunch we set off up the locks to Gayton junction where I emptied the loo and then turned north on the Grand Union.

Moored near the footpath to Gayton. Walked into Gayton for a very good meal in the Queen Victoria. After that we tried the Eytyn Arms which is more of a locals pub and only had GK IPA.
