On Saturday we met Julian & Caro (Parglena) at Marsworth at nine in the
morning ready for the final run down to Bourne End. Just as we were setting
off, another boat passed who said they were going up Marsworth locks once
they had emptied their loo at the sani station. We passed them and prepared
the first lock ready for them to join us. We had an excellent run up onto
the Tring summit meeting a couple of boats coming down and the local cheery
mooring warden as well. It wasn't long before we reached Cowroast and set
off down towards Berkhamstead. Lunch was taken on the move in order to keep
the momentum up. It is so much easier when you have an experienced crew and
are sharing every lock. The journey flew past until our partners decided to
stop at Berko as they were expecting viaitors. We stopped alongside Tiami
and had a chat to Simon and Debbi before passing down through the last three
locks to Jannock's new permanent mooring. We are now immediately behind
Parglena at Bourne End moorings (above lock 59) which is a completely
different environment to the towpath mooring we were used to at Cropredy Old
Mill. We carried out a car shuffle before having an evening meal on Jannock
and then heading home to some very hungry cats.
Today (Sunday) we have had a strimming and tidying session at the mooring to
create a bit more space/light and reduce the number of stinging nettles.
Thanks to Julian and Caro for being excellent crew members yesterday for a
great day travelling.
