Hemel Hempstead to Gayton Junction

I have not done the blog for a few days for two reasons. Firstly we have been doing long days( to get us back in time to fulfil some commitments we have made) and have been tired. Secondly not really much to see as we haven't stopped off anywhere along this leg of our trip. We are now at the top of the Northampton arm and will start our descent to the River Nene in the morning. We will meet up with some of our friends from Peterborough Yacht Club at Fotheringhay on Saturday for a riverside Barbecue, which although not organised for us, will be a great way to end our trip. Watch this space!!!
Despite the lack of interest in this leg of the trip hope you enjoy the pics.



Approaching Berkhampstead. Towns always look better when visiting by boat.
