Today we have had a fairly short cruise ending the day with a BBQ on the towpath.



Hilary has cruised the boat from Tring Cutting to Berkhampstead with only one mishap as a boat tried to enter the lock before she had managed to exit the boat.


As we cruised up the arm we had to pass a wreck or two.



Yesterday we left the Wenddover Arm, Dave was on point duty in case we got stuck in the mud.

Dave cruised the boat through Marsworth locks just before we ploughed our way down the Wendover Arm.
The water shortage has caused some problems the last few days.
