From Cassiobury Park to Denham Deep Lock, Grand Union Canal
A much better day, bright light and some heat! We set off in the autumn sunshine, passing many boats with covers off drying out after yesterday.
Along the way we saw this toy monkey suspended from a great height, and then to our great surprise a boat coming towards us was narrowboat Icarus, the boat we had built 9 years ago. A great deal of toil and tears went into that boat, now evidently under new ownership. We wondered if it had retained the most unusual facility of a commode within the front door step!
We passed along some very pretty stretches of canal, especially around Harefield, at Black Jack's Lock and Copper Mill Lock.
Our mooring for lunch, and afternoon tea, and then subsequently dinner, was above Denham Deep Lock. A busy stretch of towpath, mainly due to the wellknown Frans tea garden at the lockside.
So tomorrow we are off down the 11'1" Denham Deep Lock.
