Today we have mostly seen a 3ft pike.
Up and off at 8.30 ready for a 9 o'clock assault on the Brookwood locks. Once
through them we moved on to Deepcut flight as well.
We worked the first 5 locks before the drizzle started which got wetter the
higher up the flight we went. Out of the top lock just after 1PM and onto the
(almost) summit! We stopped briefly at the canal centre to book our return
passage and then continued on. Once through Ash lock we refilled with water to
assist our chances of getting the Alde 'cooly hat' under the low bridges.
Reading road bridge in Fleet was lowest with Brenda having to hang off the side
on a rope (just like yachting really) to get us through. We'll have more of a
problem on the way back as the bridge slopes down to the starboard side and
that us where the Alde chimney will be on Sunday. We moored for the night at
Reading road visitor moorings and had a visit from the vice-chairman of the
S&HCS who recommended an excellent fish & chip shop for our tea.
Got visitors tomorrow and Sunday so lots of car shuffling anticipated.
