Kintbury

Tuesday: 3 miles and 3 locks.

We stayed in Hungerford on Monday. Jo hoped for a haircut and a visit to the sewing shop but Hungerford is closed on Mondays. We went for a lovely walk on Freemans Marsh instead, where, much to our delight, we saw another water vole.

On Tuesday it was sunny so big laundry (bath towels and sheets) was done. It was a peaceful cruise down to Kintbury. WPs had taken over the rural mooring we stayed in on the way down and also all the Kintbury moorings opposite the handsome house. Fortunately there was space in the 48 hour stretch. We faced the now familiar problem of how much gap to leave between Harold and the next boat in a prime mooring area.
We'll be here until Thursday as tomorrow is due to be wet and we have a lunch date.
