21st September 2015. The M25 to Common Moor lock, Croxley Green.

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.
