Ten Bob Note | ||
Wednesday 7th November 2007 Location: Cheddington, Buckinghamshire, Grand Union Today: 12 miles, 27 locks. Total distance: 864 miles. Total locks: 574 Cool day. Good t-mobile 3g reception here. Phoned BW first thing in the morning to find out when the lock would be open and we were told sometime in the afternoon. Fired up the chainsaw and cut up a load of wood that we have collected over the last week or so. The saw did an excellent job and we had a nice pile of logs in no time at all. I would not be without a chainsaw now!! We got the go ahead to move on from BW at around 12:00. It was nice to be on the move again. We travelled up as far as Berkhamstead with nb Out Of The Blue. Lots of locks over a fairly short distance. Moored up for the night at Berkhamstead as it was getting dark. We walked into the town to pick up a fresh chicken from Tesco to cook on the BBQ. Berkhamstead is a nice town. Thursday 8th. It was nice to meet Chris J W from the Canal World Forum this morning. Current mooring
