Crick

Making our way through the vegetation

A thankfully quiet and uneventful cruise today.  No locks, no technical problems, simply 10.25 uninterrupted miles covered in just over 4 hours arriving in the village of Crick at 13:45 after lunch on the move. This section of the canal is very attractive as the canal winds its way around the hills although in places it is shallow and narrow with the waterway constricted by over-hanging trees and dense waterside vegetation.

We were planning to walk into the village as it,s our first chance to shop since last Monday, but the local Coop is a mile from our mooring so we decided to make do with whatever is left on our shelves. Tinned salmon salad for tonight, perhaps with a small glass of wine.

4 hours 10 mins, 10.25 miles
