September the 8th 2015. More MIlton Keynes.

4 boat miles and several more bike miles today. In the morning we cycled to Milton Keynes shopping centre (mostly uphill through an enormous park). We successfully foraged for dog flea treatment and bread and also discovered that the art gallery is closed for refurbishment. We headed back via an impressive trig point monument and view.

While pottering about when we got back, this young swan poked his head through the side doors looking for a donation. I tried (healthy) porridge oats but he preferred bread (which is junk food apparently).

After a Scooby bike ride (MK brilliant place for cycling dogs) we set off down the canal again, eventually landing at Fenny Stratford Lock. Lots of widebeam boats and bridges and general MK greenness. We washed the boat when we stopped so we will be sparkling as we head towards Leighton Buzzard tomorrow. I hope they are ready!

MK herons just stay put and take the admiration as you motor past.
