Lockdown day 32 - Rediscover this day, April 24th, 2014 - a Google Street View

These photos are not, strictly speaking, mine. Nor do they actually belong to April 24th, 2014. They were taken by a Google Street View cameraman in September 2013, while Grace and I were moored at Stoke Bruerne with our friend Michelle. The View of Stoke Bruerne didn't appear on Street View for six months, at which point, on April 24th, I screen-shot these stills and added them to my photo collection.




We're moored almost at the tunnel entrance, where the Street View stops. If you start a virtual tour HERE you can turn around and walk back past us - the first boat moored right out of the woodland shade - and down as far as lock 18 by bridge 54. It's a lovely experience on a beautiful day.

Strangely, there are no more photos for that day - actually, for several days - though we've been to Stoke Bruerne often since then, and taken dozens more.

  1. Ha! What fun! I just 'zoomed' along to see you. Isn't streetview amazing. Let's hope you can get out and about to do that again soon!

  2. I hope you did the whole streetview walk, Val. Google did that at several popular canal locations around England and Wales. It makes us look forward all the more to real cruising.
