The weekend passed well. Saturday
was a lovely sunny day with lots of people out dog walking and cycling. We moored for the night about at about 3 seemingly
in the middle of nowhere. So plenty of
daylight hours left. Paul even watched
the rugby and saw England beat Scotland.
Sunday morning we set off again, grey skies this time but it was still
dry and we were making progress. We
stopped for lunch at South Wigston. Paul
had made lentil soup which had been simmering away on top of the fire all
morning. It was delicious. So just 3 more locks then we would be at
Kilby Bridge where we planned to spend the night. It was as we approached the second of those
lock we realised we had gone horribly wrong! There was scaffolding and the lock
was drained and empty. A bit too late in
the day we got out the computer and checked the stoppages to find that Double
Rail Lock was closed to have work done until 1st of March. So here we are for the duration, half hour
walk to the nearest water point and not enough room to turn around. That will teach us to do our homework!! Talking to the workmen this morning they say
they are ahead of schedule so we have our fingers firmly crossed as we have yet
to come up with a plan B! The plus side
is we are both well and Falcon is fairly well stocked so for now we are
OK.
So watch this space for developments, meanwhile I will post a couple of
pictures for you to look at.
