Day 10 - Welford Junction to Foxton top lock

Friday 12th August

7.5 miles

Got up to a blue sky which continued all day.

Our mooring above the top lock

Cruised to the top of Foxton locks, a very pleasant cruise. Filled up with water before the flight and decided that Rachael and Ross would like the trip down tomorrow so reversed back to moorings and settled in.

Foxton locks

After lunch we walked down to the junction which was very busy lots of gongoozlers and pokeman hunters. Apparently Foxton locks is a hot spot for them.













Walked into the village of Foxton eventually finding the village store which, unusually for a small shop, had an amazing range of fruit and veg. It turned out that they run a veg box scheme.

Walked down to Bridge 61 and had a couple of beers in the garden before crossing the bridge to Foxton Locks Inn for a shiraz or two.
