NB The Directors’ Cut

I’ve finally got around to counting up the miles for the last two years, and regretting even more that we didn’t manage the final cruise around London.

For 2006:
Miles: 1100
Locks: 607
Hours: 472

somewhat more than last year. Overall, we did

Total Miles: 1810
Total Locks: 978
Total Hours: 957

Like most mornings now, we started with a run. It’s nice to always have different scenery. Stopped in Thorne to post some forms and then carried on to Keadby, ready to lock out onto the Trent tomorrow afternoon.

We had to wait just short of our destination whilst we waited for the Vazon railway bridge to open for us. This is an amazing structure where a section of the track is moved sideways to create a gap for boats to pass through. I.

14 miles - 1 lock - 5 hours
