Wednesday morning, we set off for the final leg of our monumental journey to the Rickmansworth Festival from Norbury Junction in just under 3 weeks. (179 miles apart!)
Good 90 degree bend on the outskirts of Cassiobury Park
Very ornate bridge
The old mill ~ the canal bends to the left here, mill water straight on
Narrow bits with lots of widebeams and overhanging branches
After managing to forget my windlass on the penultimate lock and racing back for it (no one had removed it off the lockbeam thank goodness!), we arrived for the last lock and Rickmansworth!
Mooring just on the right dead centre of the activity before the river bridge.
That evening, we enjoyed an evening watching short films and a main feature of 'Painted Boats' ( old classic Ealing Studios film about working narrowboats) aboard the 'Village Butty' next door. Great evening and the popcorn was gorgeous! Thanks to Alice, Ian and James for their hospitality!
Now to swapping the shop over to the other towpath and rainproofing the stall for the weekend!
