Henley

A long day anticipated.  A sort of test really as we will need to try and do Reading to Abingdon on Saturday with our guests.  So we left at 7:15 and did Old Windsor Lock ourselves.  This is push button automated and the gates were already open for us.  As we were in the lock a bunch of Environment Agency Maintenance men arrived with wet suits to inspect the local weirs.   On to Romney Lock where we just beat the lock-keeper to open the gates.  We had no real delays until the small Bray Lock where only two plastic cruisers ahead of us could get in.   Weather wise we still had the chill wind and decided to light the fire, partly to induce the sun to appear, which it duly did.   By Marlow it was shirt sleeves.   There were plenty of moorings at Henley, but the warden was waiting and got our £6 very promptly.   Supper in the Wetherspoons in the main street.      TV reception analogue only, though how much the damaged aerial is the problem I cannot say.   There is a free WiFi here.
