Day 2 - .......Meanwhile

"Yow aint seen me ROIGHT!?"
So after getting nonced up by a horse this morning I thought the day could not get any more exciting.....How wrong I was.











Having traversed yesterdays 21 locks (current score now Paul 22 v Tim 1) we were looking forward to an easy day but woke to find our way barred by a rather annoying lack of water. This in a country suffering sever floods. This held us up for an hour or so until British Waterways put it right, something we could have done ourselves were we not such newbeeies.





WE HIT A DOG!! A seemingly impossible feat on a canal boat but this dog was already dead, wrapped in a childs romper suit it moved under the boat and and into the propeller. The dog was ripped asunder, the romper suit however survived and wrapped its self around the prop shaft. We (and by we I mean Tim) had to remove it by hand and have since had it stuffed and mounted (the romper suit not the dog)
