Well, we didn't expect to get this far really. On waking this morning it was raining with leaden sky. The sort of rain that goes on all day. So out came the summer rain gear, short shorts and waterproof padded jacket. Below lock 52 at the top of Berkhamsted a hawthorn tree got the better of our roof stored TV aerial. With all the rain, branches tend to drop more!. We were on our own as far as Cowroast and the summit pound but catching up with a pair, one of which stopped for water at the top and was later destined to join us for the descent to Marsworth Junction. This was Morning Mist on the way from Ware to the Great Ouse. Carrying on we then joined with Michael on Leapfrog, a single hander working the locks just as we do. Lots of fun swapping yarns. Not so tired today. We know we get a good TV here and 3G modem signal. A good evening in the pub beckons.
Mike's Raven!
