| Odd building on HS2 site |
Fortunately the expected rain never really happened. The weather was just cold, damp, grey and miserable.
Soonb after leaving at 9:55 we again passed through the HS2 constrauction site. Here there is an odd looking building as shown in the photograph. It looks like a bridge but there is nothing obvious that goes below it and it doesnt seem to align with the new railway. There is also nothing obvious that would be above it as it is much higher than its surroundings.
At around lunch time we reached the 2 locks at Marston Doles where we had cosidered stopping to eat. However we changed our minds decidingto carry on down the Napton flight. With a bit of luck there would be morings there so we could visit The Follies, the nearby pub, for a late lunch.
Our progress down the locks was speedy and there were moorings availlable at the bottom. Great. However when we visited the pub we found their kitchen had just closed for the afternoon and would not reopen until the evening. We will have to make do with a ready made paella on the boat.

Time: 3 hours 55 minutes
