Friday 23rd May

Norton Junction to Crick
On arrival at Watford locks there were only two other boats waiting and it wasn't too long before we were making our way up the flight.
Stopped at the services by the top lock to fill up with water and empty the loo. The water pressure was very low but that gave us a chance to have lunch.
After emerging from Crick tunnel we were soon hailed by another boat that we were supposed to moor alongside. Unfortunately as this was in the cutting we could not get TV or phone signals.
In the evening we headed into the village and to the Wheatsheaf. We had an excellent three course meal which came very quickly and they had a few interesting beers in good nick.
After that we went to the festival site to the beer tent which had a good choice of 46 beers. We managed to get a seat to enjoy the entertainment.
