Intermittent rain and drizzle this morning, but we got underway and managed 3 miles and 8 locks altogether. Most of our journey was through country parks so it felt very rural as we left the railway and motorway behind.

| We went past the Grove Park Golf course; pretty posh with lots of golf buggies whizzing around. |
 |
| A rather handsome bridge in Cassiobury Park. |
We stopped at Nash Mills locks for lunch and set off again, but didn't get much farther before it started hammering it down. Eventually we found a safe haven near Croxley Green and called it a day. We saw just a few boats on the move and did all the locks on our own. The wildlife was interesting though...

| This notice was at Iron Bridge lock. |
 |
| And this smart fellow with a group of the more dowdy variety on the canal bank. |
Scooby (who really hates rain and doesn't like locks much either) had a boring day but eventually got a decent walk in when it cleared up in the evening. We need to be at Harefield boatyard tomorrow where we will leave the boat to have a few days at home.

A converted mill house glimpsed as we turned a corner, the browning leaves
reminding us it's nearly October. |
