After a cooked breakfast and a few boat jobs, we set off under grey skies, turning left at the Braunston turn. We motored passed all the moored boats at the Braunston Puddle Banks and into open country. There were lovely rural views of Warwickshire through the hedgerows to the north west.

And to the south east low hills appeared. The canal was very winding here, even though its the Grand Union; getting us in the mood for the Oxford canal which we will join shortly and which is known for its meanderings. There were a lot of birds flitting about in the hedgerows and on the telephone wires.

We stopped near Bridge 102, where there is a small collection of boats on decent moorings. Its a pretty and quiet place to stop and we went for a walk in the afternoon.
