Since leaving Cowroast on Sunday we have had shorts weather and for me full wet gear on a few occasions- but at least this time of year its warm rain! We have also clocked up for us some high distance figures ie Sunday was 23 lock miles (15 locks and 8 miles) - we actually shared 4 locks with another boat-that continues to be the record so far this trip. Monday was 15 lock miles (7 locks and 8 miles) and today was only 9 lock miles (2 locks and 7 miles). We have averaged about 2.5 lock miles per hour on our trips. Today we met Stan and Sheila who we last saw on the Macclesfield Canal in 2013

| Our mooring tonight Campbell Park- we are on the 48 hour ones-the boats on the left can stay for 14 days |
 |
| Our mooring Sunday night was just before Slapton lock-you can see Ivinghoe Beacon in the distance |
 |
| I do like the setting of the Marsworth flight of 8 locks- this is looking at the top lock with the dry dock on the right. The Wendover Arm goes off to the left |
 |
| The lock cottages are very pretty this one is just before lock 39 |
 |
| They were talking about redeveloping the old British Waterways site at Marsworth Junction 4 years ago and its still work in progress. The Aylesbury Arm goes off to the left |
 |
| A proper water garden |
 |
| The scenery around Slapton is beautiful especially if it includes a classic American Airstream caravan |
 |
| As we approached Slapton lock these "wigrams" were for rent |
 |
| Says it all |
 |
| Now this is interesting - what's a tiller doing on the bow end!!!!!! |
