Grand Union Canal:Fenny Stratford

Left at 8:00 and had an easy run to Fenny.   Three Locks had volunteers on duty so a fairly effortless transit.  Proceeding on Stoke Hammond had just delivered a boat ahead of me, but otherwise quiet.   The lockside looks lovely with cut grass and daisies.  There’s even some flowers to brighten things up.  There is a board displayed stating that the lock is sponsored by the Epic Boating Company.   Whoever is responsible it certainly sets a standard and brightened my day, so thank you.   I am moored in the last practical spot before the small marina entrance and the Watling Street Bridge.   After lunch I walked up to Bletchley Park.  My goodness there have been massive changes since I was there last, maybe 10 years ago.  It was a sunny hot day and the grounds of the old mansion have remained very attractive.   The entrance suggests that crowd control is used and certainly the site was very busy.  Photos of Stoke Hammond Lockside and Bletchley Park.
