We moored where the white water centre for the 20012 Olympics is being created.
This was once a car park.

The last couple days we have stayed at Waltham Abbey so that we can cruise on to Paddington Basin for the weekend.
This weekend we are meeting Hilary's relations from New York and my brother Ray on Sunday.

Today we cruised to Rye House where we saw the Kart owners put their machines through their paces.

We passed another one of the Heartwood family today.
Slow Pace was on her moorings at Stanstead Abbots.

We also gave Ralph some lock training.

On Wednesday we had an extra crew member.
Ralph received his training from Craig as they cruised the boat from Hertford to Ware.

On our trip back from Bishops Stortford we are soaked by a very sharp shower at least the sun was shining some where.
We were also getting ready for a visit from Jenny,Mel and Harvey the dog.


As we leave Bishops Stortford we see this interesting bridge crossing the river.

This is Parndon Mill just as we appproach Harlow Town.





I am a bit behind as I have had trouble up loading photographs.
The Fish and EEl pub at Dobb's Weir looks like a good place to moor and have a drink.

Office space available on the River Lee

The new Olympic site taken shape for the 2012 games.

How green is our river?
As we travelled up the river Lee it was covered in weed, although B.W. had boats out trying to clear it they seemed to be losing the battle.

Large lock gates open to allow a yacht to travel from the tidal Thames to the Regents Canal

The Maisibert leaves the tunnel at Islington



I think this pub may have music at weekends

A floating Chinese restaurant moored near London Zoo in Regents park.

Rita and Scoobie had a friend join us from Canada to travel to the Lee and Stort.
We are leaving the Grand Union joining the Regents Canal
