Wednesday: A nice lunch at the Dundas Arms
Thursday: 5.5 miles and 7 locks
After a nice day in Kintbury on Wednesday we set off early on Thursday morning. We stopped for water just before the lock and met nb
Burnsal whose crew kindly gave us a tap adapter. We must have left ours on the tap at Great Bedwyn. We waited for them to fill up after us and we travelled the few miles and locks to Newbury together.

| It had brightened up again by the time we got to Higg's lock by the woods. |
Our companions went on but we stopped at the 24 hour moorings on the western side of Newbury. The town was bustling and looking handsome in the sunshine between the showers. Depending on the weather and how we feel tomorrow, we'll either move to new mooring below the lock or head for Reading. This is the last accessible bit of civilisation until Wallingford on the Thames.
