Wednesday 8th July

Greenford to Cowley

Stopped to try and get gas at High Line in Northolt which was not open, and Willowbridge marina where they wanted £3 to empty the Portapotti, which we declined. At Bulls Bridge we turned right up the Grand Union then left at Cowley Peachy junction onto the Slough Arm. The first bit was very fast then there was a very slow bit, then the boatyard moorings, but the rest of the canal has been fully dredged and was fast enough. Spotted Tortoise and Floss on the moorings. Chris joined us with his bike and we moored by St Marys road bridge and retired for lunch in the Red Lion where Andy I. was waiting for us. Andy J. left us here to catch a train at Langley station. Carried on after lunch to the end where we turned and came straight back. Stopped on the way for gas at Highline yachting. Back on the Grand Union we moored for the night below Cowley lock. Went to the Malt Shovel for the evening.
