UK Trip Day 9 part 3
23 June 2012 15:25And so after Bletchley, I took young Aaron to look at some older technology
Grand Union Canal, near Blisworth

North end of the Blisworth Tunnel. The tunnel is 2.8km long. The light you see in the photo is from a narrow boat coming through.


Grand Union canal at Stoke Bruerne, South of the Blisworth Tunnel.

Quite a few of these narrow boats are privately owned, and are like ling, narrow caravans. Ultimately I would like to have a holiday for a few weeks on one, travelling at 4mph. I hear Google is doing a Canal View for Googlemaps. Which is nice.

Lock 2 on the Stoke Bruerne flight of 7 locks that drop the boats into a valley

Lock gates.
