Paddington Basin from The Maisibert at night

The busy North Circular Road from the Aquaduct that crosses the river Brent and the A406.


Artwork as we approached a windy Paddington Basin.

The artwork is made of materials found in the cut and designed by local students inconjunction with a local artist.

Not sure if this was a steam paddle boat or was just built to mimmick one

How many people required to film a scene!!!!

Is it a house or is it a boat or this is the proper interpretation of a house boat.

Another sad sight we pass on the cut on our way to Rickmansworth.


Phew its hot!

We have left Berkhamsted and now at Hemel Hempstead.
We have shared the trip and locks with Rita and Scooby Talbot from Festina Lente.
We would to thank them for their support with their knowledge of the area and for Wednesday nights cheese and wine which was served on the towpath.

Whilst I was building a table for the cratch area Claire, Craig and Hilary guided the boat through the reed beds and locks on the Aylesbury arm

Craig cruising The Maisibert past the swing bridge

This weekend Claire and Craig came to visit left is Claire getting ready to operate the swing bridge near Pitstone Wharf.

We had Caroline and James our disabled friends visit us from Newmarket and we managed to find a mooring near a car park and a mooring that gave them easy access to the boat.
We then visited the Peace Pagoda and Buddist Temple in the nearby park.

Some of the famous Milton Keynes concrete cows now graze in the Central shopping centre
