Prepared to set off from Thatcham as a boat appeared at the swing bridge, only to find that three boats came through. So I was lumbered with sharing locks with the last boat, a hire boat full of Germans.
Made it to Newbury by noon and moored outside the Narrow Boat pub, which didn't look inspiring. John and Gavin were delivered here by Paul and Andrew. We had lunch in the pub which was better than I was expecting.
Left by 3pm and got to Kintbury by 8pm. The 250m of moorings were full so we moored opposite the very large old rectory.
Went to the Dundas Arms where we had a very good two course meal. Then we went for a wander round the village, which even had a fishmongers!
