Stanton Low

Before I left the Campbell Park visitor moorings I set the washing machine going, there may have been a launderette in Milton Keynes somewhere but I didn’t fancy trying to find one, moving off at about 10am the first stop was at the services at Giffard Park, they were empty when I arrived so I set the water tank filling and put the kettle on, emptied the cassette and the rubbish and a Wyvern Shipping hire boat with a family on holiday arrived, I told them it shouldn’t be too long, there is only one tap, but the flow seemed ok, I had my cup of tea whilst chatting to them and after about half an hour I said that would do, so I could let them fill up and get on with their holiday, as I was moving off another boat pulled in so a busy little time. A fairly quiet cruise, no locks still, but 15 bridges to pass beneath, one fairly quick shower of rain and not much worthy of a picture, this little bridge went into a private basin called Pennyland

I had looked at it during one of my strolls but didn’t have my camera with me, it looked a lovely little development if you owned a boat. Past the Black Horse

which had some nice seating on the other side but it was in the shade of the trees. I soon came to my mooring for tonight which Les and Jaqueline (N.b Valerie) had suggested when we chatted yesterday and they are also moored here today, but I am not going near them or they will think I am stalking them, it’s called Stanton Low Country Park but I can’t find any reference to it in Pearson’s guide.
I am very tired, I think all the walking over the past couple of days has caught up with me, so today I will rest up and maybe have a look around tomorrow. I’ve got the washing drying in the bow well deck, now I don’t have a cratch cover the clothes horse stands there quite nicely J
