G.u. Weedon bec to blisworth tunnel

Weedon Bec was far more peaceful than feared on first sight. As expected Virgin trains ceased operating late evening but the maintenance gangs worked through the night, not that I noticed, but Lynne did. After fruit and milk shopping we cruised past Nether Heyford and Bugbrooke in very warm sunshine to Gayton Junction where we intended getting water, emptying the oblutions and dumping rubbish, none of which we achieved as entry to the services was roped off during refurbishment works. Plan B immediately swung into place, whereby all will be completed tomorrow once we survive Blisworth tunnel, Britain's third longest navigable, re opened in1984 after being closed for 4 years whilst the bore was re-lined, so at least we should avoid being soaked as were previous adventurers. Beyond the tunnel 7 Stoke Bruerne locks beckon, so at least we should be relatively fit and rested by then.
