Patch bridge to Epney

A miserable day, very different to what it was like 10 years ago. Set off after coffee time for Sharpness. Moored there and went exploring the old dock. Noted that Balmoral and Waverley do trips that call here, must go on one.

It was too wet to walk to the pub that we had planned to go to so we ate on board.

After the rain had eased we headed back up the canal, stopping to empty the loo at Saul, and moored for the night just short of Parkend Bridge.

Walked into Epney and went to the Anchor Inn to eat and drink. It's right by the river and we saw the tide flow and ebb.
