Date - 6 Oct 06 Day - Friday Start - 1000 Hillmorton End - 1445 The Bridge Napton
Last night we ate at the Royal Oak,Hillmorton. This is now a hungry horse eating house. The Speckled Hen bitter was OK and the food was cheap. I had cow pie and wish I hadn't, we didn't bother with the sweets. The rain stopped about tea time but started again during the night. This morning was quite bright regardless of the BBC weather forecast and we have only had very short showers but they have been accompanied with quite strong squalls and very unpleasant. We stopped at Braunston to fill with water and while Diana was doing this I nipped round to Tony Redshaw's to take the end of my heat exchanger back which was the wrong size. As we approached Napton Narrowboats they had then started sending their boats out for the week which caused very slight congestion. There are still as many boats in the Branston area not displaying valid licences, I counted 8 to the end of the puddle banks. After last night we decided to stop at the Bridge Inn Napton for a this evening for a decent meal and then continue our journey up the flight in the morning. When we arrived just before 3 there wasn't a single boat moored on the stretch in front of the pub, so we are in the closest spot with the shortest walk and a table is booked for 8. -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit my Web site at http://www.harnser.info Yahoo!
