Bones Wasn't There

We managed to join the boat by about 11:30 in the morning, just Ewan, Siobhan and I. We had to drop a car in Blisworth for our return home in two weeks time. We also needed to pick up two replacement filter housings for the fresh water pump from the boat yard. The filter housing cover cracked again last Wednesday night. When we arrive back in Blisworth the current Johnson pump will be replaced by a different brand of pump. This one has failed four times now.

I was hoping to capture a photo of another blogger's boat: narrowboat Bones at Thrupp but when we passed, the mooring was empty.


We made our way down to Jericho where Cathy joined us, having taken the car back home and obtained a lift to Oxford. The edge of the canal is very shallow here so we have had to use our new boarding plank for the first time to reach the land.

Moored at Jericho Footbridge.

Total distance is 6 miles, 0 flg and 4 locks
