Decided to try and get up early and catch up with the Bruce Trust boat ready for the return to Gt Bedwyn from the paralympics. Failed miserably and what a grind through locks, swing bridges and weirs! Took for ages and we did not catch the Bruce Trust boat. Zoomed through Aldermaston and Newbury, but to no avail.
Forgot to mention that we were also delayed by a couple of octogenarians on their Silver Jubilee boat. They eventually had to let us join them in a lock and so for 3 locks we were able to "help" each other.
Finally stopped at Hamstead and are now in the Red House for an anniversary meal. A wonderful restaurant. Could not have done better if I had booked somewhere.
