    On To The Thames Proper

    July 1, 2023 in England ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Ok. What a day! After being waved off by Rascal on a neighbouring boat, and Jenny feeding the wildlife one last time, we left the marina and hit the Thames proper.

    Five locks and unbelievable countryside, 2hrs of chugging under an overcast sky; followed by 4hrs of warm sunshine and we've parked up under the trees on the western bank of the Thames in Wallingford.

    Fantastic day. Narrow boating is literally the fastest way to slow down.

    Passed a beautiful pub about a mile back, and we're about to walk the dogs (Millie and Milo) there for dinner.

    Tomorrow, another day on the Thames.    Read more
