14th and 15th November 2015. Pinned down in Leighton Buzzard.

After an easy mile and a half we arrived safely in Leighton Buzzard on midday Saturday. The Leighton Buzzard Dirt Half Challenge was well underway when we arrived, with hundreds of muddy runners jogging down the towpath by the visitor moorings. Scooby (who's not keen on joggers) guarded the boat vigorously (and loudly) until the last stragglers had passed. Robin fixed the tap and Jo explored LB and got her haircut as planned and all was well. However, it grew increasingly windy and we had a restless night feeling and hearing the buffets against the boat. Fortunately Robin had taken our aerial down as the one on the next door boat was a sorry state in the morning.

Our neighbours collapsed aerial.

The wind kept up on Sunday and as the it's not much fun on a narrow boat in the wind, and possible to get blown into embarrassing corners, we decided to stay put. We'll tidy up the boat and have a lazy Sunday. Hopefully it will die down tomorrow and we'll be able to move on. We may have thoroughly exhausted the delights of Leighton Buzzard by then!
