Wasted visits

Wednesday 21st August 2013 - Milton Keynes to Leighton Buzzard

We had noticed that Maisy was scratching  We didn't get moving a lot and close investigation revealed..... FLEAS!  Boats are not good places for fleas.... correction they are very good places for fleas but not good for getting rid of them, with no good vacuum or boil washing machines.  So it was a case of finding the nearest Pets at Home and getting on the bikes to buy flea treatments, for both dog and boat.  Treatments were applied forthwith and I am pleased to report.... no more scratching!

We didnt get going until 1pm.  It was a warm afternoon and we made good progress, despite being held up behind a painfully slow widebeam.  I had to walk up and negotiate with the two boats ahead to allow us passed! Moored up for the night at bridge 72 on the outskirts of Leighton Buzzard.
Slow queue
