The morning started clear and dry and so we set off south. I had moved the car from the canalside carpark into Brinklow due to the high levels of car theft reported by other boaters moored there. The trip was uneventful including a clear run through the locks at Hillmorton. At about 2pm the rain started, it was a gentle wetting Welsh type of rain.
We arrived at Braunston and pulled over to the Sani station to do a water fill and self pumpout. Then the rain changed its mind and became a hacking freezing mountain type of rain. We woz wet! Finally winded in the marina entrance and reversed into a free mooring spot just before the footbridge. Had a quiet evening in until 10pm when I walked up to the Old Plough to meet John P. for a beer. Graham www.jannock.org.uk [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
