After the quietest night's sleep I think we have had for a while, we left Tring Summit (Bulbourne) a little before the Cheese Boat, yesterday morning.
We had all decided that we would have a shortish day and get to Berkhamsted, give the old muscles a rest!
Very dark along the summit before the openness of Cowroast further along and our first lock of the day.
Special thanks to Jan off the Art Boat for meeting us unexpectedly at the lock and helping us down a couple before collecting her boat in the next pound and linking up with the Cheeses.
The pounds are very low at the moment, making navigating them very slow and risk of grounding common!
We are now moored in Berkhamsted (opening to trade when it stops raining!) and will stay now until Sunday morning to continue our journey to Rickmansworth.....
Journey to Rickmansworth remaining ~ 13 miles and 30 locks!
Splendid!
ReplyDeleteHopefully CRT might find some water from somewhere before we move on down this stretch next week, but I'm not actually holding by breath on that one!
Sorry to have missed you - we were up at the boats just in time to see the Cheese Boat.

Hi Alan! Yes very low in some pounds and the leaky gates don't help! Take care and see you all soon x
