Back on the Grand Union Canal

My rural mooring was lovely for a restful few days but when you have no projects ready to work on and the only thing to do is go for a walk it can get a little too restful.

Yesterday I made the short trip into Braunston, only a distance of about three miles but surprisingly busy, still a few local hire boats on the move.

Lots of boats moored up along the route giving each other a bit of space.

How about this one for a 'little' project?, Hmmmm....maybe not for me!

I wonder who it was that fixed this sign on the side of the bridge, of course I tested mine and was pleased to find they worked :-)

I was soon approaching Braunston with the view of the Church and Windmill building rising out of the countryside, the Windmill is now a holiday retreat offering 6 floors of luxury living for  up to 6 people, about £700 for 3 nights in June next year, very nice!

Then it was through the junction with it's twin bridges, left for the Oxford North and right for the GU, and onto the first mooring, that was me done, a short but necessary trip as I needed supplies and tomorrow, weather and mood permitting, I will head off again and be back to working double locks.

Current mooring:

Twin Iron Bridges, from my mooring, left is Oxford South canal and
 straight on is Oxford North

A busy place this Braunston
