Barby to Napton On The Hill - 8.5 miles


Monday morning was gorgeous as we pulled pins at about 7:30.


We arrived at the junction at Braunston just after 9:00, there were quite a few early movers this morning all making the most of the great start to the day.

We made the right hand turn onto the Grand Union without incident.



As we travelled along I was entertained by some ducklings trying to out run the boat, their little legs were going 99 to the dozen.



In the end they gave up on trying to stay in front and headed off to the bank.

We ate at the Kings Head, Monday night is Steak Night, so I had Fish & Chips!!!


We then had to have a desert, because the Steak night offer includes a pudding :-).


Rod had the Bakewell Tart and I had Sticky Toffee pudding, yummie.....


Tuesday night is Gourmet Burger night, so we are booked to go back tonight........naughty but very nice and it is our last week of cruising, that's our excuse any way :-).

Napton is a really pretty village with some beautiful views.  We took the opportunity to take George for a nice long walk this morning, into the village and then down to the locks and back along the canal.
