Friday 2nd September
11 miles
Set off soon after 9.00am along the Fossdyke canal. Very wide and very straight built by the Romans. We did a 2 mile straight at one point. Passed a few boats, the cruisers looked massive on the canal rather than the river.
In less than three hours we approached Brayford Pool and the mooring we had booked. It was under a road bridge with a building site on one side and a demolition site on the other and they wanted to charge £10 a night! We moved back to visitor moorings which didn't feel right either. After lunch we strolled along through Brayfor Pool to the River Witham where there were much nicer moorings - quick rewind to fetch the boat though. Went through the glory hole
