Today we travelled through Marsworth over Tring Summit and started on the long run down to Brentford, although we probably won't go that far just yet. We will definitely stop off in the Watford area for a few weeks and if the weather forecast is right will probably get stuck there until after Christmas. If we are going to have weeks of very sub zero weather it will make any plans to go visiting difficult as we won't be able to leave the kittens in an unheated boat.
Not many people were travelling today and we had the locks to ourselves. We did pass the coal boat in Marsworth, we waited a while for her at the bottom lock but she didn't catch up with us so I guess she had lots of customers. All the live aboard boats now have their roofs full of coal and logs ready for the winter.
We moored for the night near Northchurch ready for the run into Berkhamstead tomorrow. I'm still fighting my cold but beginning to feel a bit better..
Today's journey 6.7 miles and 12 locks
So far this year we have travelled 443.2 miles, 406 locks, 2 swing bridges, 34 lift bridges and 15 tunnels
Since Ray retired we have travelled 1173.9 miles, 1053 locks, 57 swing bridges, 38 lift bridges and 40 tunnels
