We left our mooring 8.45am and headed towards Baxter's Boating Fitting Yard, in the hope of finally getting a pump out !!!  The man at Baxter's was very helpful and also showed us the Dry Dock.

This sign is near Baxter's Boating :)

 After about 45 mins we were on our way again.  By about 10.45am the rain had set in, but at least it wasn't windy.  John was keep nice and dry by the wet weather gear provided by Wyvern.

We stopped at Wolverton and John walked to the Tesco for a few supplies, including pizza for dinner.

The rain stopped during the afternoon, but unfortunately the wind came back !!!





There are some lovely properties along this part of the canal

 We continued on for another couple of hours and stopped at Willen Park on the outskirts of Milton Keynes, just near Bridge 80a.


We stopped quite early today knowing we would be on time to get the boat back on Saturday, as we were way in front of where we needed to be.



 If you look under the bridge in the photo, you can see them working on the start of the Milton Keynes to Bedford Canal extension, at a cost of 40 million pounds.
