3rd August Tyle Mill to Beale Park

Up at 7.30, an early breakfast and we set off around 9.30am.  Met up with nb. Hobgoblin and shared the lock work as far as Reading.  At Reading Hobgoblin was unable to find a water tap (someone had left a tap running and drained their tank) and returned to Tyle Mill.
Finally onto the Thames and turned left for Oxford.  Col spotted a Kingfisher.  Tried to moor at Pangbourne but no space so continued and found a mooring at Beale Park.
Getting used to life on boat again which is surprisingly tiring when doing full days so all to bed at 9.30pm!
