Light At The End Of The Tunnel

Our arrival at Weedon was not without a little home made drama, caused by map reading issues, or lack of map reading to be more accurate, as we cruised past a collection of mooring bollards, and the much discussed church, Ali announced that this could be it ! By now the boat was half way out of town again, much reverse thrust and just as much cursing, we came to a halt, the wind blowing us to the opposite side of our target spot and of course boats appearing from nowhere,well, we are in, tied up, and smiling.
We had left Stoke Bruerne on Sunday morning, the plan was to get through the Blisworth tunnel good and early, thus avoiding other boats coming through the other way, well that was the theory, almost immediately we entered the tunnel Ali shouted " boat coming towards us Baz " I was of course outraged that others had spoilt a good plan, and were so selfish as to be cruising at this silly time of day -  Honestly !!
We kept to our side, the light was getting closer, but not fast, I thought sod it, I will sit in the middle until we get a bit nearer,  Ali warned me that it was close now, we pulled to the right, it was of course the famous "light at the end of the tunnel " we were seeing, twits, don't tell anyone, ok.

We enter the tunnel, are you sure two boats can pass in here ?

Lots of water seems to drain into the tunnel, you hear it and wonder if you are about to be soaked, as not all of it enters like this, some comes down like rain  Big Rain !!

We say goodbye to the entrance

Air vent tunnel, often accompanied by water !

Water brings an interesting finish to what is a brick wall, with time

Nearly out

Evening at our nights mooring at Bugbrooke Downs

Looking back as we pass Nether Heyford

Open views so welcome

We are now at Weedon, we need to stock up on fresh goodies and start to plan the week ahead, so a quiet spot for boat admin, that will allow Richard to get to us on Friday to service the engine. 

Bye for now

Baz and Ali
