A great night's sleep in the Boveney Lock weir stream.
What a great mooring this is. I'll certainly bring Hallmark here again
All the facilities too and decided to make use of them
I finally make a start. Then there is a delay at Boveney lock due to sewage pipes needing to cross the lock There are loads and loads of boats out.
Too crowded when you start after lunch!
Despite this the run to Cookham is really good.
Lots of intersting houses and buildings.
First Oakley Court.
Then Monkey Island where I had a wonderful meal back in the days of working for Berkshire.
Unfortunately there was a bottleneck at Bray Lock. Too many overlarge gin-palaces. It takes three lock fillings before Hallmark's turn.
Then it is Maidenhead with its Brunel railway bridge and arched road bridge.
The town really makes good use of the river especially at Boulters Lock.
The Cliveden Reach was stunning
Sadly the was No space on the Cliveden islands Next time.
But would there be room to moor on the meadows at Cookham. There were quite a lot of boats but there was space for Hallmark!
What a sunny Good Friday it has been!
I decide to finish the day with a walk into Cookham
And of course I venture into the Kings Head and it's beer garden and decide to have fish and chip supper with mushy peas.
