Thursday 13th August. A trip down the Welford Arm.

We set off from our picturesque mooring to visit Welford. Jo put some washing on and I started baking some bread, making a dough and waiting for it to rise. We went through Husbands Bosworth tunnel and then turned left down the Welford arm of the canal. By now the dough had risen and been knocked back and shaped into rolls ready to prove and bake. We arrived at the only lock on the arm just as the rolls were about to come out of the oven. A slight delay in the lock while the trolls were taken out. On to Welford and a slow cruise to the end of the arm where we turned round and moored. Rolls had come out rather large and we had half of one each for lunch (yummy). After a rest we decided that there was not much in Welford so dumped rubbish, emptied loo cassette and set off. As we travelled slowly along you could almost hear the sound of duelling banjo's and someone shouting high six. Back onto the main arm and south where we moored for the night.by bridge 36.

Rob's big rolls (yummy) the bananas are there to give some idea of size.......... It's a blokes thing.
