Running total mileage 2834.8miles
Today it was onward past Farnborough Airfield to Fleet where
we got the weekend shopping and then another hour further on to the mooring by
Chequers Bridge, which is a quiet woodland mooring nicely off the beaten track.
Whilst at Fleet we came across one of the Historic boats that had attended last
weekend’s festival in Woking, they are heading to the end of the canal but have
to be back to the Deep Cut flight of locks by Monday so they have a couple of
fairly heavy day’s work to do. We are slightly more relaxed although we do need
to have reached the end of the canal tomorrow and turned around for the return.
I’m a little concerned that a previous landslip in the region of Dogmersfield
may slow us down a bit as the depth isn’t too good there, but if the Historic
boat gets through with a 3’ draught then we should be able to do so
(particularly if they have gone through first and deepened it for us!).
