Theale



Lat/Long N51.42868 W001.07104

Map reference  SU 64680 70379
Distance 6 miles
Total 345 Locks 8 Tunnels
Running total mileage 481.3 miles

Well still going according to plan, we are now at Theale swing bridge as hoped, all we need to do is  make the move to Reading tomorrow. Today’s travelling was quite pleasant although a little faster in some places than I would necessarily prefer! Woolhampton bridge was quite quick but manageable.

Where some of the boats were moored didn’t help the situation as there seemed an odd tendency to moor on the outside curve of the river where the current is invariably at its fastest and it is hardest to actually steer but we have made it here without mishap. Just hope that the weather continues to hold.
