Entering the Icknield Port Loop (unless Michelle tells me otherwise!)Bakewell's journey: day 4 (because I didn't take any photos on day 3).
As well as towing Bakewell, Nick was also making a delivery, of some empty blue ballast drums. Thus we got to make a detour around the Icknield Port Loop, which certainly added to the interest of the trip.
Making the deliveryI really want to come back and explore the BCN over a longer period of time; it must be the most fascinating of Britain's waterways; the most tantalising and the most frustrating - all those lost wharves and arms and loops, and the ghosts and traces that remain. I can't say I fancy doing the BCN 24 hour challenge (we're SO slow! And I like my sleep too much), but I'd love to try to cover the ground over a week or a month.
More lovely BCN scenery
theres a lot to see and a fair bit of fun to be had.Bonfire rally next year? or Parkhead.
ReplyDeletePlenty of spaces in Hawne basin in the summer, can't remember how much per night for visiting boats but I could find out.
