To Alvecote In Flamingo - Day 2

(Exceedingly) retrospective post for Tuesday 25th August

 (Boat Flamingo - posted  by Alan)

Well the blog managed to founder far more spectacularly than we have ever achieved before!  Nothing posted afer just the first day of quite a major trip, and indeed there have been further trips since.

Rather than leave a complete void, we will attempt to retrospectively add a few pictures, even if it is now, in general, a bit too late for many words!

Here, only about a month and a half after it happened, is a flavour of our trip to take Flamingo to Alvecote for the first time

EDIT:  Second attempt at this day, after Adam correctly pointed out that my days didn't match my photos!

This was actually a short day due, in part, to a very scary incident we were involved in at Hillmorton Bottom Locks, and about which I am still awaiting a response from CRT.  I have decided not to further discuss details until CRT have finally made their response.

    If that day's journey was Hillmorton to All Oaks, then photos of Hawkesbury Junction are a bit previous...

    You are not wrong are you!?!

    We had an issue with one or more camera having a duff date and time in, and I think I have been sorting pictures based on duff information.

    I'll try and sort it out later!

We have (finally!) been alerted to the fact that many people have been unable to post comments on this blog. (It seemed a bit odd, as people used to, but it has stopped occurring). We have changed some settings, so hopefully now possible again. Comments will be moderated, and you will need to enter word verification.
