11th September 2015. Bridge 118 to bridge 130.

Another lovely sunny day. We started the day by watching Homes Under the Hammer and then thought we better do some boating. Some 4.5 miles and 9 locks later we stopped for the night just short of the junction with the Aylesbury Arm. The locks at regular intervals kept us busy as we gradually creep uphill.
Harold waiting at handsome bridge for the lock just after it to empty.  
We had lovely views of the Dunstable Downs all the way. Very rural but lots of moored boats, clearly live-aboards, only likely to increase in number as we get closer to London.

Hills  in the distance. Home is on the other side!

We plan to head down the Aylesbury Arm tomorrow, which should take just a couple of days. More locks and rain forecast but our spirits remain high. Aylesbury will be worth it!
Our mooring this evening.
