Sunday
30th October, 2011
Gentle start to the day, weather rather
grey and with an extra hour in bed due to the end of British Summer Time we had
a relaxing morning. At about 11:00am we sailed into Guildford,
winded and moored up upstream of Millmead lock. Then we went shopping in Guildford for supplies including a new shower head with a
broader spray pattern.
Just after mid-day Pam and Trevor arrived
from Aylesbury and after tea and coffee we sailed down to Guns Mouth where we
winded and then returned through St Catherine’s Lock to the water meadows where
we moored up for lunch. Lunch was a bit later than planned and went on a bit
(delicious!) - so it was after 4:00pm when we set off for the centre of Guildford. We went through Millmead lock for the last
time and then dropped Pam and Trevor off before continuing as far as Dapdune,
where we moored up for the night as it was getting dark. Plenty of activity
still going on there as they had organised a ‘ghost night walk’ for the
children, which was very well attended.
5 miles and 3 locks – 2.7 hours
Total 144 miles and 76 locks – 76.1 hours
