Today was a repeat of last years (17^th August) canal trip organised by John and Carol Curd.  The trip followed the same format, day boat from just outside of Cheddington, going south through several locks.  Stopping at around 1.00 for our picnic lunch of Salmon, meat balls, humus, salads etcetera. 

Back through the locks and back to the marina for 5.00.  An invite by Stuart to his house for tea, and a cooling spray of water from a hose pipe.  Yes it had been yet another hot day, and with the running around closing and opening lock gates we were rather warm and dehydrated.

No I did not fall in, job or get pushed into the canal.  The dead floating fish put me off from this exercise.  Quite a few birders were on the tow path, apparently looking for a Least Sand Piper, a visitor from America..
