We turned up the Kennet...at the end were some very nice pubs....but we didn't stop. Sadly the locks had changed too- back to the windlass- no more pushing buttons!
I can't believe there are traffic lights on the River.... I got out quick pressed the button, the light turned green and a boat went sailing past us!
The River winds past Readings shopping centre called the Oracle- It looked amazing with lots of places to eat and even a beach bar. We are definatley stopping here on the way back.
The locks are still quite big...and not in very good condition. This one had a broken paddle and took about 20 minutes to fill.
An old mill.
Look who I found next to the boat when we moored up....we moored next to a meadow and had a chat with all the people walking past- most of whom were going to or coming from a nice looking pub called "the cunning man". The food smelt amazing.
Happy days.
