Approaching Blisworth Tunnel

Next morning we took him through the tunnel. He couldn't believe it was so long and part of the way through another boat entered from the other end. He was very concerned that we wouldn't be able to pass and the nearer the boat got the more agitated he became. It didn't help matters that by now Ian had relinquished the tiller and "let him have a go". We assured him that so long as he had a couple of inches width next to the tunnel wall the two boats would pass without a scratch. Needless to say he performed the maneuver brilliantly and we "did" come away unscathed.
We got as far as Gayton Junction and then headed back toward Cosgrove again.
