Thurs 15th June, Willington to Reading

Moored for lunch at Pangbourne and went to the Elephant Hotel to eat.

A hire boat from Aldermaston overtook us and then we saw it slow down with steam coming from the engine bay. We offered a tow and took them to the next lock. They gave us a bottle of wine as thanks.

Called at Better Boating for fuel at 84p/l. I was allowed to do the fill and managed to get 141l in! A new record. We turned off the Thames and onto the Kennet & Avan canal. Moored for the night on the 24 hr moorings buy the goal.

We had a sandwich on board then walked to the award winning Nags Head where Andy met us for a drink. Unkown to us it was the night of the presentation of their latest CAMRA award and we were treated to hot dogs after that. On the way back we called into the Ale House.
