Day 15 - Welford

We cruised down the Grand Union Canal to Welford today. The highlight
of the journey was the Husband's Bosworth Tunnel. It was at least 200
yards long. This picture is of us about to enter the tunnel and you
can see a boat just coming out. We passed two other narrow boats while
we were in the tunnel. It was a very tight scrape. We had to stop and
fill up with water. It took about a 1/2 hour to fill our tank. There
was a very friendly swan there who was trying to get on our boat.
We went through one more lock to get into Welford. We went on a walk
around the village and to two reservoirs. We are going to have dinner
at the village pub, which has been recommended to us on two separate
occasions as having really good food. We are going to stay here for
the night.
