You can tell that the Bank Holiday Weekend and the National Waterways Festival is getting closer, yesterday we passed SANITY AGAIN, today it was FLORRIE KENDAL and FAIR FA.
Unfortunately we were only able to go up the river as far as Shifford Lock where we topped up the water, then winded and started back downstream. We have to be in Reading by Thursday afternoon as our son is having the boat for a week. If any of you are on the Kennet and Avon Canal from 5th to 12th August watch out for GUELROSE - the person in charge will not be me although you may be excused when you see what you think is a much younger version of me!!
Another lovely days cruising, some of the bends up this section of river are great fun in a 70 footer!! Another field mooring in the middle of nowhere, beautiful evening sunshine and a magnificent sunset. What more can one ask for.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY..... If you remove the narrowboats from the Upper Thames there will hardly be anything else left - I know a lot of cruisers cannot get past Osney Bridge but even so they are so sparse up here.....
