Wendover Arm

Woke up this morning not feeling too good, no not a hangover, sore throat and a bit of a cough. We decided  to make the short journey to the end of the Wendover Arm. We didn't set off until after lunch then made our way up through Cowroast Lock. The lock cottage there is having problems with water from the lock leaking into its cellar and there are builders working there. The lock has to be left empty to minimise the problem.

We did the usual water/loo/rubbish stop then carried on across Tring summit and onto the Wendover Arm. I spent most of the journey inside, I'm definitely not feeling too bright.It has been very windy today and tomorrow is forecast to be worse with snow! It really is time spring arrived properly.
