Our last full day.
We left Newbold at 09:30 and it was dry and bright but at 11:15 it started to rain heavily.
The supplied waterproofs proved not to be proof against heavy rain, but it didn't seem to worry Dan.
Rain let up for a while as we approached Braunston but started again.
Several fields along the river showed signs of mediaeval strip farming, as shown by 'ripples' in the grass
We moored at 15:50, most of the places were taken and we couldn't tie-up close to the pub.
Heavy rain had soaked the tow path which was mostly muddy puddles. We were back at The Boathouse which we'd dined in at the start of our cruise. Dan found a route back along the road to avoid the worst of the tow path.
Newbold to Braunston - 10.5 miles - 3 locks - 5h20
plus an hour moored for lunch
