On this chilly but dry February morning, Emily Bronte chugs into the mouth of the 3,057 yards long Blisworth tunnel.
Goodbye Milton Keynes, Thanks for your super Cycle path network, clean and dry towpaths and plenty of space to moor. We won't forget our Christmas ice skating too |

Entering the tunnel , thinking it would be deserted , on this grey mid winters day, a light shone out from the depths, a boat was approaching from the other end! this would involve a tricky passing manoeuvre with only inches to spare.
Emily slowed as the light shone brighter, inching past without touching the tunnel sides, both crews , gave a cheery shout. |
 |
| The rain of the last mouth appeared to have waited for Emily Bronte's approach, torrents of water came cascading down like a circular waterfall from the air shafts, mostly missing the crew ! |
