Just a quick update for yesterday, we set off early hoping to beat the forecasted rain. As a result we had to operate the first lock ourselves as there was no lock keeper in attendance. The promised rain did materialise and I was absolutely soaked. We are now moored up just above the Sonning Lock. We were going to walk into Reading to do some shopping but the wind and the rain drove us back and we ended up doing an easy Geocache on Sonning bridge instead.
We met up with Risa in the evening for an indifferent meal at the Bull, I have stopped doing the GRPS, suffice it to say it would not have scored too highly on that. It always surprises me that popular places like the Bull can serve up such nondescript food. Still we had a great time chatting to Risa.
Today we did 6.13 miles and 3 Locks
Statistics so far:-
620.44 Miles, 483 Locks, 47 Swing Bidges, 27 Lift Bridges, 6 Tunnels.
