A relatively long day of 6 hours with few boats but a couple of diversions. First up the Guildford Weir reconstruction had 2 barges, but breasted up ! Talk about a narrow lock being squeezy with an inch clearance each side, these guys had left a millimetre…….and the weir stream helped as well ! No room for any boats wider than 6’10”!

The colours of the Virginia creeper had intensified going thru Guildford.

Approaching Worsfold Gates we saw another obstruction, a National Trust crew were offloading wood from a barge and tug. No problems as they reversed out to let us pass.

As we were right by the New Inn at Send we decided a lunch break was in order, up to its usual standard, and a lovely local cider to go with it.

All too soon we were doing the last couple of locks, 9 today, and all but 2 were against us. With high winds and some rain due tomorrow we are in the safety of Pyrford. Weather permitting we might go downstream on the Wey on Thursday, see a friend and have one more night on the Thames. Then it will be time for a final Wisley visit and packing.
