Date - 03 01 07 Day - Wednesday Start - Braunston 1015 AM End - Newbold 4 PM
Bit of a late start toad after filling the water tank and "Fringilla" doing a dunny dump. Just past Braunston Junction there is what looks quite a smart little boat sunk on her moorings, but how well loved she was I don't know as her licence is 12 months out of date. We met a couple of boats during the morning and then 3 in the Hillmorton Flight. We moored for lunch just below Hillmorton Locks. Shortly after setting off again I heard the sound of a steam whistle and a few moments later a steam train came chuffing along the line. Unfortunately as he passed us he was in a slight cutting and although I was standing on the front deck with my camera ready in hand all I could see was lots of steam and the top of a black funnel going along. We moored for the night on the visitor moorings just prior to Newbold Tunnel a few minuets after 4 PM. -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit this site and help save our waterways http://www.savethewaterways.org.uk/
