From Lechlade downstream to Bablock Hythe, River Thames
We turned at the limit of navigation in Lechlade and are now going with the flow, downstream. We enjoyed the meadow mooring in Lechlade, perfectly placed for visiting the town, but such a great shame so many dog walkers haven't cleaned up and others have just left their doggy bags on the footpaths. There are some very interesting antique places in Lechlade, good entertainment factor!
We have realised that the number of swans and particularly last years cygnets along the Thames is quite sizeable. The birds are tending to congregate in large colonies, in the low lying fields adjacent to the River, and occasionally we see fisty cuffs breaking out among them! There are several nesting pairs along the way too.
Our Thursday mooring is at Bablock Hythe - we recall this spot from last year. A disused ferry crossing, which is going to be reinstated we gather, and it also has a large caravan site and has one of the few recycling facilities along the river, which is surprising considering the Thames is administered by the Environment Agency!
