Through Corkettes Two today

Solbury Lock to Ivinghoe Bridge, Grand Union Canal, 2 miles, 3 locks

Just the couple of miles then and we were up through Corkettes Two, better known as Ivinghoe locks 32 and 33. Corkettes Two is a working boaters term for these locks… but I have no idea why. I couldn’t find corkette in the dictionary, sounds like some gadget for opening a bottle! I shall try to find out as we journey down to London. Anyway here is a pic of NP in one of the Corkette Two Locks.

See what I mean about stashing as much wood as possible on the roof! Luckily we stacked it well enough not to lose any in the recent wind.

A bit more done on the new floor this afternoon. Probably the most difficult bit of all along the passageway, not much room to work, lots of trims to take off or cut to get the flooring under. The bathroom door had to come off. Its one that slides……. and we took 8mm off the bottom of that, putting it back was a real pain though…. but maybe we were tired by then. It’s looking good though

With the passageway finished we will do the lounge tomorrow, hopefully that will be a doddle…. lots of straight runs with no cut outs. Will take a pic if we get it finished.
