Braunston to Watford (no not that one)
Decided to try to get to Crick today as it's only supposed to be 5 1/2 hrs if there isn't any queueing at the locks. On arrival at Braunston bottom lock there were already 2 boats waiting. So after waiting for them to go through we ended up sharing with another boat that we had been moored near with a dog that Muffin had played with yesterday. Lunch on the run again and turned at Norton junction to go north towards Crick. Surprised to find no boats waiting at Watford locks. We were allowed to go straight up the first 2 locks but waited in the first for a boat coming down. There were two volunteers assisting the lock keeper. At the top we stopped to top up with water etc. By this time we had decided due to the nice weather not to get to Crick today but to have a barbecue in the countryside south of the tunnel.
