Bridge No.33 to Bridge No.3

 Started off fine, but slight drizzle stopped play just as we were mooring up. No queue at Watford locks, and only 1 boat coming up the staircase. Now moored after bridge No.3 of the Leicester line of the Grand Union, where we were 12 days ago.

 11¼ miles 7 locks 1 tunnel in 4hrs 50mins. what3words /// polished.denser.contoured 

Piling work



Yelvertoft Marina, I know it is, it says so on the sign



Jo steering



Nice to see so many cowslips along the towpath



Crick Marina, I know it is, it says so on the sign



Crick tunnel



Who's nicked the front of me boat!



Approaching Watford top lock



The M1 crossing the canal above Watford locks



Temporarily moored above the locks waiting to go down



Whilst waiting I took a couple of photos from around the locks



This one too, showing the side pond between the top lock and the start of the staircase



One of the side ponds filling from the lock



Going down



A bit leaky behind me



Very leaky behind me, still washed the counter off for us



Exiting Watford bottom lock



Now moored back at Bridge No.3
