A little bit slow with the updates due to the heat and not a good T Mobile signal-more will follow. Sorry about the heading but I couldn't resist it as you don't see many cars on narrowboats.

I couldn't see a tiller so perhaps he drives/steers it from inside the car!- just great imagination- you just never know what is round the next bend..

Our first stop last Tuesday was Rickmansworth which was very busy but we just managed to get in before bridge 174 which was only a 5 minute walk from Tesco-and had shade from late afternoon.
