An early start as we have a birthday celebration lunch booked. Not as early as a cruiser that motored past at around 6 am. We winded easily below the lock and had an easy run back to Harefield arriving there at 9:20 this time hopefully with full batteries. Shame that the Denham gravel traffic has ended. The two custom made barges are still moored above Cowley Lock and the loading conveyor by the A40 already looks derelict. Quite a lot of investment went into that traffic including the wharf and turning point at the cement plant.
