2014 – Hemel Hempstead, Grand Union Canal
Forgot to put that when mooring up last night I managed to drop one of
my mooring chains into the canal – thank goodness for “Sea Searcher Magnets”
which allowed me to recover it, but it wasn’t where it had gone into the water
but about 5 foot away!!
Today I started at 08:00and initially was on my own but after three
locks I met up with ‘Pathfinder No 2’ of the Gas, Light and Coke Company of
Windermere. We then went on down through
the next five locks to Winkwell where they stopped at ‘The Three Horseshoes’ pub
but operated the swing bridge for me. At
the next lock were three guys out for a trip and that got me down to Boxmoor
lock where I have moored so I could have a quick trip into the town to sort out
a few financial matters.
The weather has been gloriously sunny all day – definitely vest weather.
