Kennet & Avon Canal:Theale

No point in leaving too early as Theale is not far, just 3 locks and a couple of bridges or so, two of them mechanised, and so we left at 8:00.   Not ideal in some ways, because it's rush hour and traffic is heavy on the roads, however, needs must.   A couple of river sections here, so speed is thrilling, even at low revs.   Drifting into Theale moorings we struck gold.   It's about half a mile to the station, but just one stop in Reading, then Paddington and home.
