Walked into town first thing as we couldn't get our key deposit back till 9.30.
Conveniently the fist gas bottle ran out this morning so we got a new one before leaving Priory Marina. Went upstream through the town centre and on to the limit of navigation at Kempston Mill.
This came slightly sooner than expected when the bow ran aground. We tried to turn there but couldn't, so we had to back down to the last island and turn below that.
Moored in Bedford and went for lunch in the Pilgrims Progress. After that Ian left for the station to go home.
Back downstream and moored for the night at Great Barford where we got the last free mooring. Lodestar was still there.
Walked up through the rest of the village to check out the other pubs. One was permanently shut and the Golden Cross was advertised as a Chinese Restaurant. However it still had a traditional front bars with real ale, so we tried some. Then back to the boat for a snack. Later on we went for a pint in the Anchor.
