Museum Interruptus

Monday morning route selected without motorways. Only 5mins longer and 4 miles shorter.
Rode out towards Bletchley.

Somewhere I saw a sign to a Canal Museum. How could I not go! VERY happy memories of a two week trip on a barge. 
The museum was a LONG way from the A5. Three villages away. but arrived there in the end.
Interesting list of names of key engineers. With Telford being way down the list.
Had a bacon buttie and a cup of tea.
Took a ride on a barge to the longest 2-lane tunnel in Britain.
Told I should go to Brum and enter the D‎udley tunnel. Supposed to be awesome, with a whole underground world running off it. Which was a coincidence as this morning I was listening to a Beeb program about the underworld of Paris.

Easy run to the pub I had booked into.
Dodgy parking area. Gravel strewn over a hard, pitted surface.

Unpacked and rode off to Bletchley Park.

Apparently the movie did the place a lot of good. However, I saw none of that! hahaha
Really am more a geek, so went to see Colossus, again. Had been here in 2013. Nice presentation. Awesome to hear about the amount of thinking done. 
On the way out asked about their‎ random number generator. Was nothing to do with World War II, but a proof of concept for ERNIE (premium bond selector). Amazing. If this is for real, then it can properly secure any message. One flaw, only get a character a second. 

Back to the pub.
TLC then cover up the bike. 
Sample the local beers….

Supper started with a ‘Tall, Dark. and Handsome’. I kid you not……

Followed by a nice steak pie…..

And an early night 🙂
