Bottom of Caen Hill flight



Map reference  ST 97488 61448
Distance 3 miles
Total 273 Locks 7 Tunnels
Running total mileage 432.9 miles

Finally on the move towards Reading and the Thames. Not a high mileage today but we now have 10 locks out of the way. The sort of weather we have had today was superb and I would like to think that it is what narrow-boating is all about! After the hors d’oeuvre of today’s lock tally, this is what we have lined up for tomorrow!!


Think we’ll need a short rest after this lot. Hoping to team up with the crew of another narrow-boat called ‘Lindy-Lou’ who we have got to know whilst at this end of the canal during the winter, it seems that they are also going up through Caen Hill tomorrow, 2 crews = half the work (I hope!)
