On Romajech, we set off in the morning before the threatened rain arrived and through Welford Junction. Through 1166 yards of Husbands Bosworth tunnel, which seemed almost totally straight and not too dank - but perhaps we are just getting used to tunnels. Moored up for breakfast and decided to walk into Husbands Bosworth for some supplies (booze running low...). Rain came down but we were under trees for most of the walk. Not too much traffic on the canal, unsurprisingly as it keeps on pouring every half hour or so.
Back for the day and decided not to move on due to inclement weather, but to settle in the warmth of Romajech.
Tomorrow we tackle the staircase locks of Foxton. Our first locking down since we started! Will it get faster if we go downhill?
Blue Adeline too, was sheltering from the deluge - except for a walk into Crick, returning thoroughly drenched. Wanted to light the stove with our new chimney fitted, but couldn't face climbing on the roof to put it in position. Evening in, with beers and the first World Cup knockout games.
