The morning started off bright enough but we waited until it was raining cats before we set off. It was a strange old day weather wise, one minute we had heavy showers and then the clouds would clear and the sun would come out and we thought yes that is it not a dark cloud to be had. Off with the wet gear and then from no where yet more rain.
We stopped at Marlow for lunch and a bit of a shop. We would have stayed in Marlow but as the weather had improved we thought that we should move on as we had only come a short distance. Of course as soon as we had pulled pins the clouds moved in and the skies opened up.
During one of these rain events we met one of these coming out of Temple Lock.

The Thames between Marlow and Henley is very picturesque and wide sweeping in places.

We did try and moor up after Hurley but as I was undecided as to whether to go in front of a tree or behind it we ended up in it, the tree then tried to remove the bikes and then the chimney, we gave that up as a bad job and moved on to Henley.
Today we did 12.59 miles and 4 Locks
Statistics so far:-
614.31 Miles, 480 Locks, 47 Swing Bidges, 27 Lift Bridges, 6 Tunnels.
