To Braunston

In mixed weather we travelled from All Oaks Wood to Braunston.  Lots of boats on the move, as ever in September, but a trouble free run through the Hilmorton locks of which one of each pair were locked to save water.  There are plenty of bridges with poor visibility on this stretch, so some inevitable meetings...

Despite the traffic we found a mooring outside the Mill House for the night in time for a wander around the village and locks, happily reuniting a walker with a lost set of keys that we found on the towpath.  Later on I looked out for a supernova that was near the Plough in the sky, but not much was visible to the naked eye.  Crossing the A45 to get to the footpath along the other side of the canal the number and speed of lorries flying past in close proximity felt quite alarming after three weeks aboard.
