Tour 2010
11 - Haudival to Compiegne. Canal du Nord, Canal Lateral a L'Oise, River Oise.
Monday 7th June 2010
The Nord locks start working at 07:00 on weekdays, the locky let the ascending boats through first, then we went singularly (07:45), after "Together" Forever" had gone down. 09:30 we passed out of the Nord, and turned right, down the wide and straight Canal Lateral a L'Oise. 13:15 saw us pull up on the diesel point at Max Guerdin boat toy shop / diesel depot in Compiègne. We moored up to a bunch of working boats / pontoons, being pushed by a tug, when they had finished we pulled away a re-moored, only to find that the white diesel hose was at the other end of the mooring barge. After some phaffing about we got level with the hose and took on a frightening 680 Euros worth of white diesel. Neil went into the toy shop and came out with a trolley load (10) of "Defense Glissoires", Tip Top / Zig-Zag barge fenders for Maurice A. After this we shot over the other side of the river to moor up against the grotty concrete fence posts. During the after noon, we observed how lucky we were to find a "quiet" time at Max Guerdin's, as there was a constant arrival of commercial barges, for red diesel top ups. We had a wander about Compiègne and did a spot of shopping in the supermarket. That night we went out to the Bistro De Boucher, Neil got 24 hr food poisoning, so we could hardly recommend this chain, steer clear of the "Madam Parmentiers Revenge".
