Welford to Foxton
Lots of boats left Welford today, the lock was in constant use for a few hours. By the time they had gone we were ready to leave. Turned north at the junstion towards Foxton. Shortly after North Kilworth we were met by a boat going backwards! They said there was a tree blocking the canal and a lot of boats were held up. We carried on and moored amongst the others. I foolishly assumed that someone must have tried to get over the tree but after a while a boat came through and said that it was easy to get over. So after we had finished lunch we set off to have a go. Unfortunately we had left it too late and local contractors were already there sorting out. So we moored up again and waited for it to be cleared. We were away again by 5pm and made to Foxton before 8pm. After dinner we went for beer and cider in the Bridge 61 pub at the bottom of the locks.
