Cassiobury Park

Today we headed down to Cassiobury Park as planned. We had our boats logged by the patrol officer while we were in Iron Bridge Lock. He commented that we 'get around a bit' so I don't know where we were last spotted. I'm sure we will get logged a few times over the next couple of months as we don't intend moving very far.

At times today the rather bright wintery sunshine made steering difficult, it's much easier if you can see where you are going! At least it wasn't a long journey. There seems to be a reasonable amount of windfall wood about so we can stock up a bit. The weather forecast is for some cold weather, maybe snow, so we want to make sure we have a good supply.

We are visiting Bob and Babs on Saturday and will head down to Batchworth on Sunday. We'll probably do a quick trip into Watford either tomorrow or Friday as well. I'll probably pay my brother a visit sometime while we are down near Batchworth, it's easy enough on the train from Rickmansworth.
