Lechlade The Limit Of Navigation

After a delightful meal at the Trout Inn last night we set off at 8:15 on the last leg upstream on the River Thames to reach the limit of navigation at the Round House at Lechlade.
Since we left Bristol on Sunday 7th July we have travelled 163 miles and been through 130 locks!
After we turned around to head back to our moorings, adjacent to Ha'penny Bridge, we met Kevin Blick coming the other way on his newly restored tug boat "Harry" http://tugharry.blogspot.co.uk/.
Kevin wrote an article on our boat for the December 2010 edition of Canal Boat. Good to see you Kevin.

Just received this photee of us during our passage down the River Severn approaching the second Severn Bridge. Taken by David Field aboard his yacht Alana, thank you David.
