Tonight we’re moored on the Grand Union Canal just north of Uxbridge (see the gold star)

Apart from the first stretch past a lot of industry (including what looked like a closed Nestle factory), the Grand Union Canal is looking promising.

The canal is sometimes referred to as the London-Birmingham ‘motorway’ of canals, as it was the main freight route up the country for 150 years, however there are no working boats now and it has become much ‘softer’ round the edges.

On the way we passed a boat we just had to take a photo of to share with you. The guy steering it was really cheerful and didn’t seem bothered in the least as to what it looked like …….
