Continuing our journey back home on the Grand Union Canal. We set off at 9:40 and soon reached Crick Tunnel and then down to Watford Locks where the M1 and the West Coast main railway line both cross the canal as they all make use of the route through the hills provided by Watford Gap. We had to wait at the locks for about 45 mins as 3 boats came up through the staircase but once we started down everything went smoothly.
At Norton Junction we turned right onto the Birmingham-bound main line of the GU. Travelling through Braunston Tunnel we only had a slight run against the side at one of the kinks in the waterway and a minor bump from a boat coming the other way. Once we were out we moored for the night at the top of Braunston Locks.
Cruising: 8.23 miles, 2 tunnels, 7 locks 4 hours 50 mins
