Yesterday I had a walk into Bugbrooke village.
The original part of the village seemed to consist mainly of
Great Lane and Church Lane along with The High Street forming a squared area
with a few minor streets leading off it, and was quite pleasant.
The large community
Primary School looked a very pleasant setting to begin your schooling.
Some nice thatched and non thatched properties.
And a great view spoiled by this building.
The remainder of the village consisted of what appeared to
be mostly 1980’s housing in a maze of cul-de-sacs and was not very inspiring.
Karl had caught up with me and today we moved on to Weedon
Bec another short but very pleasant cruise, the weather was good as I led us
off about 10:30 passing this boat which had me wondering about the inspiration
for the name.
Mostly a tree lined meandering route opening up
occasionally
passing very busy little mooring sections and more built up areas.
Karl stopped off
at a very busy Stowe Hill to take on fuel while I carried on ahead to find a
suitable mooring, I didn’t have to go far as there was a nice two boat gap on
the visitor moorings right by the steps leading down to the church grounds and
village. It would be a very good mooring except for the fact that the edge is
sloping concrete and my fenders are ineffective because of the slope, so every
boat that passes causes my boat to bang against the concrete, must buy some
spare larger type for these situations, inside the boat it's loud and jarring.
