16.65miles, 9 locks, 6hrs 20mins.
A dull and cold start this morning, and we were soon approaching the eastern portal of Braunston tunnel.
The remnants of the landslide at the western portal has all but disappeared.
Braunston top lock.
We caught up with Nick Wolfe on Aldgate.
However, Nick was unloading at the Admiral Nelson, so our journey together was short lived.
The works at Bridge No.80 had come on leaps and bounds since last month. The footings were complete and work on the actual bridge has started.
Likewise with Bridge No.79
At least there is a bit more headroom at No.79!
Battersea was moored below Hillmorton locks, we haven’t seen her for quite a while. It was also great that the paired locks at Hillmorton are all functional again, we overtook a boat at the locks! They were already going down through the top lock when we got there, I pulled out of the middle lock ahead of them.
