The wildlife here at Pitstone continues to assert itself – our early morning wake up call today was thanks to huge carp, leaping and thrashing in the shallow waters at the edges of the canal. An early morning fisherman told me that 18-pounders aren't uncommon here. At least they have scared those bloody swans away.
Another scorching day, on through Linslade and another grocery stop (last one for this trip, I hope) at Leighton Buzzard, then through Fenny Stratford to find astonishingly quiet moorings on the edge of Milton Keynes, with cycleways and even a separate bridleway provided parallel to the canal so no risk of high-speed cyclists racing up behind you on the towpath.
