Weedon Bec! Day 278

C.L. Peache

Thursday 25th April Day 278

We decide to cruise the short distance of one mile from our current mooring ((should have just pulled the boat!)) to Weedon Bec as there is a Tesco nearby and it’s easier than carrying our supplies up the tow path. We also take a wander up to a place called Weedon Bec Ordnance depot, which is an amazing place and well worth a visit. We popped to the visitor centre and watched a short film on the history of the place:

Copied from their website : Once known as The Royal Ordnance Depot, the complex was built as a secure place to store equipment, ammunition and weapons for use by the British Army. The Depot fulfilled its function from the Napoleonic Wars through to the end of National Service and serviced every major conflict in-between. (https://the-depot.uk/the-visitor-centre/)  

((good job you added that Peachy else you would be in trouble for copyright theft! Oh how I would love to see you in court over that – it would make my year!))

There was also an antique centre we wandered around and then we were going to visit the bookshop and café but they closed early! ((I’m not laughing!)) probably a good thing as if I buy any more books I will have to open my own floating bookshop and buy another boat!

Back to the dinette after this to crack on with some work and day done. Until tomorrow.

Cruising: 1 miles
London bound totals: Cruising miles: 97/198 Locks: 112/174 Tunnels: 5

After living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales, I now live on a Narrowboat cruising the canal network. I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, walking, kayaking, watching all forms of motorbike racing and socialising (networking). At the beginning of my writing journey, I started my blog which tracks the ups and downs of writing. ((I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’!))
