Day 13/14/15 ~ 2.5 miles and 5 locks

Sunday, we opened the gift shop in Apsley and enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere of this very new development of flats, restaurants, a pub, with a busy marina at the centre.


I've been busy getting some projects finished and varnished ready for the weekend


Richard steers the boats off on Monday morning, whilst I walk the dogs to the first lock of the day


Passing under the walkway, which takes pedestrians over to the station and pub on the opposite bank


Considering this is widebeam country, leaving a narrow gap can present a challenge, but we got through unscathed! 


This is what we reckon our butty looked like when it was in British Waterways usage!


Kings Langley ( not Kings Landing, as we kept referring to it...)


M25


The boats moored on the outskirts of Hunton Bridge.  Richard gets camera shy, but I got him, just before he ducked out of shot!

Tomorrow we will complete our journey to Rickmansworth, if the congestion has been relieved a little.  Apparently the mooring restrictions for the show don't start until tomorrow, so we may have to wait for others to move...

Journey remaining ~ 5.5 miles and 10 locks
