Distance 5.5 Miles
Total 104 Locks 6 Tunnels
Having carefully extricated ourselves from our ‘jungle
mooring’ at Wallingford we then continued on down the Thames to Cleeve Lock,
although the original plan was to go further, this was such an attractive
location we moored for lunch and stayed for the rest of the day. The farmer
came around in the early evening to collect her mooring fee of £4 but since we
are moored directly opposite an attractive property for sale and valued at
£2,495,000 , £4 to stay here seems a bit of a bargain! We spent the afternoon walking to Streatley and Goring which I have to be honest, were a bit of a disappointment. Some pleasant houses but nothing architecturally striking and apparently little of historical note.
Once again the trip along the Thames has been glorious with
fabulous views and, at the moment, hot sunshine. The planned distance tomorrow
will only take us as far as Pangbourne since we still have a couple of days to
spend on the river to get full value from our weeks licence. There were no particular
dramas today, just a pleasant cruise along the river.
