Saturday 23rd March am


Well it's snowed a bit during the night. We might need a spade to dig WD out at this rate! Mick with some assistance has found the broom and managed to clear the rear part of the boat. More snow is forecast with big winds around here today and the geese don't sound too amused!

Breakfast first and then see how we do. There is a lift bridge up ahead and the weight of the snow may just make it that little bit difficult to lift. Canal plan suggests that we can get to Welford Haven in three days if we do 39 locks today! Now on a normal day I'd be up for the challenge, but I'm not so sure about today.

The canal is turning into one big slush puppy and I think the locks might be just a bit more work and slippier than normal. At least next years Christmas card is now sorted.

Look back later to see if we've dug ourselves out, if the lift bridge would lift, if the slush puppy is strawberry or bubble gum flavoured.
