We arrived at Cosgrove just after 12 o'clock on Saturday to witness a
diesel boat setting off from above the lock - Blast! Jannock was in
need of a fill and his price was good at 45ppl. Never mind, I was aware
that Peartree marina were about the same price.
We loaded up and set off in the sunshine heading south through Milton
Keynes. The target for the weekend was Marsworth which Canal Planner
reckoned was going to take us about 12 hours. Pushing it in these short
autumnal days but I was confident that it was not an unreasonable goal.
As the afternoon progressed we found our overall speed was limited by
numerous linear moorings and random fish annoyers. When we arrived at
Peartree, the marina office was closed so no diesel for Jannock. Never
mind, we'll be at Willowbridge soon. Down through our first lock of the
day and we soon found that Willowbridge (also 45ppl) were also closed.
Finally moored up for the night near Stoke Hammond ready for an early
assault on the three locks at Soulbury. Dipped the diesel tank and added
my 25ltr emergency supply just in case. The sunset was glorious and
Brenda had left her camera at home - Oh well, never mind.
