Moonrake Lock, Devizes to Seend Bottom Lock, Seend Cleeve
Time to move on and finish off the last few locks. We stopped at the bottom of the main flight overnight and now its time to move on again..

So I woke up and I realised why should I get up now, so I just lay there on my phone, then sat up and was just flicking through Facebook, when I suddenly had Keith standing next to our bunk looking down at me saying “just so you know you’re going to be driving today” and […]
After over-nighting at the water point between the lock and the swing bridge, set off early-ish this morning as we needed to get nearer to a shop to get some supplies in. CC got the lock ready and we lent through. A gentle cruise past a marina, round a few sharp corners, and a fallen […]
Its been a long day today.. and both the boat and myself are feeling it! After arriving at Marlow.. we joined the attraction sect, lots of people walking past this very popular spot, a few stopped to take photos of the cats, the dogs.. Anna’s garden on the roof! Several conversations later we managed to […]
Early-ish start today as we needed to get somewhere where we could get some supplies in as were running short of food (and milk – and it’s a very grumpy Keith when he doesn’t have milk for his coffee in the morning!) There are some very nice “country estates” this way.. And some that were […]
Needed to get a pump out today – so back to Molesey lock as they have a pump out station. The pump out charge on the Thames is still £10.. a very good price – and possibly still not enough to cover the maintenance of the machines – but I’m not going to complain (between […]
Set off early today to get to the marina, get everything done there, and get to Wolf Bridge (203) for mid-day – so Anna can collect the car for her bank holiday away with Lori.. Got to the marina.. went in – realised that the services berth was outside on the main canal – so […]
Time to move on from a very nice location in Cowley.. Its been a good week here, even though we were moored under tree’s – the solar panels still did a reasonable job.. just need to clean the bird crap off them now to get them back to peak performance! More cat wrangling required this […]
What with the side winds & the weather it had to happen sooner or later… Yes.. Whilst attempting to moor up at the service berth in Cropredy.. the side winds kept blowing the boat around and away from the birth.. by the time I eventually managed to get the centre rope.. it was not long […]
Time for a run to Cropredy marina – top off the diesel tanks, empty the toilet tanks.. and pull in at a pub on the way back! Brasenose Arms.. here we come.. again.. Sorted!
Time to move on and heading for Crick – our 14 days at the mooring between bridge 19 and 20 on the Grand Union (Leicester Section) has come to an end.. Had fun at the moorings near Yelvertoft.. Water point.. rubbish bins.. and a free car park that was close to bridge 19 – which […]
So.. one week on.. 7 days after selling the house and moving aboard our narrowboat. Starting to get settled..Many thanks to friends and family for helping with this massive change in lifestyle.. Many runs up and down the M1 to store excessive stuff.. many traffic jams.. stowed away as much as we think we need […]
