After our cancelled
departure last month due to all the rain and the Canal being in flood we
finally got away today.
It was a lovey day so
instead of staying in the marina overnight we set off downstream. It was quite late so we didn’t go very far
and pulled over just before Widmead Lock.
We were sitting out on the
towpath with a glass of wine when I got a closure email from C&RT saying
that Woolhampton Lock was closed as someone had hit one of the bottom gates and
knocked it off! That will delay us!
Our plan is to get down to
the Basingstoke Canal by next Saturday but with a closure we might not make
it. I really wonder if we are not meant
to go onto that canal as this is our 3rd attempt.
Richard has been busy this
winter transforming our bathroom. We now
have a walk through room with a nice big shower and a modern hand basin. I love it and it completes the “pink” look!
