23 July 2011 - Frouds Bridge to Reading
Mark, Claire & Charlie came to help us on the first leg of our journey - from Frouds Bridge to Reading. Its a hard days slog on a good day, so a little extra help with the locks would be great. Once everyone had actually arrived we were all set to go at 12 noon (not exactly the early start we had anticipated. Nevertheless the extra help was very welcome. A nice dry day allowed us to make Reading by 7.30pm including a stop over at the Cunning Man for a swift one - or else the mutinous crew would have mutinied.... Once parked up behind Reading Gaol, Annie magicked up a quick curry to feed the crew before catching the bus back to their cars.
