Monday 19th October 2015 Leaving Hertford and Heading South to Broxbourne.

 

 

We are leaving Hertford after meeting up with family and letting them see Harold and have a cup of tea and a slice of cake. Hertford has changed a bit and there are houses everywhere where there used to be derelict land and very busy with people.

 We set off and went to Hertford lock where Jo was helped by a group of ramblers with the lock gate.

 

 

 

The helpful ramblers.



 We then headed to Ware under the A10 viaduct, it still seems odd being able to cruise along on Harold under the A10.  I used to drive on the A10 over the canal on my way to and from work at Hoddesdon dreaming of being able to do this.

A clump of Dab Chicks (Hiding behind the Coot)

Just coming into Ware lock and saw a nice little clump of Dab Chicks, the only time we've seen them is on the River Stort and the Lee navigation.
On to Stanstead Abbotts and stopped at the marina and got some rope for the fire door, filled up with diesel and water. Pottered along to stop outside the Crown pub in Broxbourne where Jo is meeting Carol for dinner.
