Tuesday 29th May
John dropped the car half way at bridge 28 and walked back with Dex. We set off late morning.
Although this stretch of canal is quite pretty there is nothing really remarkable about it.
We did however pass numerous boats as they returned from the Crick boat show so this kept us amused. We had never seen so much traffic on the canal!
These beautiful old barges were a lovely sight to behold.
The recent storm had blown most of the blossom off the trees so it was good to see some which had managed to keep their colour.
I was also pleased that my first flower had opened on my watering can!
This bull looked worn out. Not surprising seeing all the cows and calves around!
The boats kept on coming...
We liked the novel back fender arrangement on this boat!
We found a good mooring spot at Yelvertoft.
Yelvertoft village is really nice with lots of beautiful buildings. It has a lovely country feel about it.

Dex and I walked back to bridge 28 to collect the car. As the canal was so bendy it would have taken a long time to walk back along the towpath so we decided to check out a footpath across some fields. There were sheep so Dex had to go on a lead for part of it.
Oh dear, Dex found a bog! He would have to have a bucket bath later!

My direct route had paid off despite the bog incident as we came out exactly opposite the car!
