We are chugging on to Dunhampstead today, all of 1½ miles
so normal service is resumed, doing all those miles and locks in one go is not
in our nature!

| Leaving Tibberton |
 |
| Passing Oddingley with small church |
It had been raining in the night and when we set off, it was
a bit drizzly but not heavy rain. We
left Tibberton and chugged along the canal passed Oddingly and the small church
near the canal, under a few bridges and then we were at Dunhampstead and we
moored up and we didn’t pass any boats, the canal is very quiet this morning.
 |
| Cowslips & bluebells lining path |
We chilled out for a bit.
Kev said that the rain was forecast to turn heavier around 1pm, so what
did we do, we went out for a walk at 12.30pm and yes you’ve guessed it, the
rain turned harder and we got wet! We walked
along the tow path to Dunhampstead tunnel and walked up over it and back down a
lane to the bridge over the canal.
 |
| The Firtree Inn |
We walked down to the pub The Firetree Inn where we were
going to have some refreshment, but like last time we were here it was closed,
this time there was a sign saying closed due to flood!
So we got wet for nothing!!
Never mind, we walked back to the boat and had lunch on board instead.
We are staying here tonight then depending on the weather,
we may chug on to Hanbury Wharf a couple of miles up the canal or stay here
again .
