Still homeward bound on Seren. Today we did the remaining locks at Napton then cruiser on to Braunston. Went shopping, did 6 more locks and the Braunston tunnel before stopping near Norton Junction. Pizza for dinner, made on board with sourdough obvs. 5 miles and 7 locks to Crick wharf tomorrow then the OH will collect us by car. #BoatsThatToot #Boating #GrandUnion #Braunston

You may have missed this post as I didn't include any of my usual hashtags, but I cannot praise this slim volume highly enough.

There's a reprint of the back cover text at
https://www.deuchars.org.uk/publication/#books
where you'll find links to where you can buy it. (My copy was a first 1997 edition, when it was priced ยฃ3.75, and I bought it from the author at a #festival in #Braunston in 1998.)

Attached: 1 image @[email protected] I re-read it myself immediately after posting the link and found myself amused by the way I tried to show off my knowledge in explaining how to pronounce "winding" and the references to Tom Rolt's book. There's another book that I regard as an essential read. You'll find references to it if you scroll down a bit from: https://gregafloat.org.uk/other/1998sohamlode.php#assault It's by Chris Deuchar and is "A Boaters Guide to Boating" It's aimed at members of the Historic Narrow Boat Owners Club but should be read by all.
