....and more locks

Moondaisy is working her way up the Grand Union Canal, in the general direction of Milton Keynes, where Crew#9 will (hopefully) catch a train back to Chester on Monday. It's a steady climb to the summit at Tring, then downhill for a while. Perfect weather and good company through the locks has made it a pleasure. A slight "OOPS !" moment when one of our lock windlasses went into the cut, never to be seen again, but a new one was procured - as if by magic, at Cow Roast marina, by Crew#9.

A charming, flower-bedecked pub ( which we did not stop at ) at Berkhamstead



....and a familiar name...
