26 kms, 2 locks, 4 hours
We were up with the sparrows this morning and left the quay
at 8.15. The sun was just rising and the
light was beautiful. Only 10C when we
set off, it turned into a stunning autumn day.

the restaurant
barge was pulling away from its mooring and heading in the same direction as
us. Groan, they cruise really slowly and
we didn’t fancy sharing a lock with it.
Actually, I’m not sure we would fit in a lock with it as I don’t know
how long it is but I’m guessing about 25m.
However we were about 15 minutes early for our 10.30 booking at the lock
so we hung well back and when the lock came into sight the barge was already
inside with the gates closed. Phew!
We have stopped at a wild mooring next to a micro-light club
where a tiny fixed wing plane landed during the afternoon.
