It's the Devizes to Westminster canoe race this weekend but so far we have managed to avoid the neoprene hordes.
It was dry but overcast when we got up this morning, by the time we'd had breakfast and untied the boat it was raining. The rain has continued all day, getting steadily heavier and heavier.
We only managed 2 miles, a swing bridge and 2 locks today before we moored up. We came through Newbury, a great deal of effort has gone into making the Canalside attractive in Newbury, but the canal and rivers are very full and fast flowing at the moment.
CHS stopped at Victoria Park as I had to walk from the lock for some distance to meet him. We were going to moor there but there is a fun fair their this weekend and it might be a bit noisy so we moved to just before Greenham lock. Tomorrow we will stop at Tesco and stock up on a few things and then move on again.
We are hoping to find a place to moor for a couple of weeks in the next 5 or 6 miles, we will see.

I love the slow meandering of your holiday - enjoy whatever the weather.
Sorry it's been raining - must put a damper on things! Sunny here now but still a cold wind.
It has been extremely wet and cold here on the Essex cosst. Horrible.
