I wonder when we'll reach the M25?


We passed under the A40 this afternoon and I took a picture because I usually pass over the same bridge on my way to and from work.









Water quality in the Grand Union has improved as we move North, probably due to the use of the river Colne as a feeder. We keep seeing coconuts in the cut. It appears that if you are a Hindu born at a specific time of year you are expected to throw a coconut into a river on your birthday.









We spotted Columbia (ex-FMC motor) at Cowley Peachey as we passed. She was the next boat fitted out by Mill Wharf after Syncopation.

We also passed nb Tafelberg going in the opposite direction near Bull's Bridge. Aha! According to their blog they've just started their holiday!

Total distance is 15 miles, 5¼ flg and 15 locks

Moored near Stockers Lock, Rickmansworth.

Actually it's a Jamaican custom for funerals where the number of coconuts represents the age of the deceased!
