There was no sign of life from the boat in front but the four people on the hire boat behind said they would be ready to start by 830. Started up the flight together at 820 and got through the main 16 locks in 2 hours. Then carried on though the rest of the locks where the hire boat moored opposite Devizes wharf. We carried on and moored on the 48 hour moorings at Horton Bridge for lunch at the Bridge pub.
Carried on to Honeystreet and moored near the Barge. The pub has changed hands a few times and seems to be run by east europeans with an 'Italian inspired' menu, only one beer on but in good nick. Sadly I don't think it will survive with the current menu. There was very little evidence of its crop circle days, an OS map labelled Croppie HQ and a large advertisement on an outside wall for Stonehenge Croppie beer.
