Marsworth in the rain

I think we have had Spring, I guess we will now have to wait until about July for our two days of Summer 2010.

Today didn't start too bad, the weather wasn't too unkind and we had the company of L'Escargot for six of the seven locks up from Berkhamsted to Tring Summit which meant I had a fairly easy time. Morgana was running a bit hot and when we stopped Ray checked the raw water filter and we had collected enough twigs and grass cuttings to restrict the flow. Once that was clear all was well.

We decided to carry on down the Marsworth flight and it started raining quite heavily after the second lock but we had no choice but to carry on through the remaining five. By the time we moored up on the visitors moorings by the White Lion we were both very wet. If it stops raining we might even go for a drink tonight.


Today's journey 6 miles, 14 locks
So far we have travelled 17.2 miles, 41 locks and 1 swing bridge
