After a reasonable nights sleep we are both feeling better, but I’m totally deaf in one ear from sinus congestion. So we stopped at Guildford again, for more pharmaceuticals, and another camera…well actually it’s a little single handed, power zoom LUMIX GM1. Ideal for snapping shots off the back of the boat, and not as drastic as dropping a Leica in the drink.

CS Lewis of “Alice in Wonderland” fame lived in Guildford, and there is a delightful statue just alongside our mooring point.

Hazel had a very productive shop, getting all those items we couldn’t find yesterday. It’s amazing how Jet lag befuddles the brain. Guildford isn’t quite as smart as it used to be, though there is a Jaeger outlet in Marks and Spencer’s now Mum 😁

Town clock as impressive as ever

We decided to return to Cartbridge rather than press on, first exchanging some books at Dapdune Wharf, using their services and then heading back downstream. The river splits off and one almost does go down a rabbit hole, or rather under a bridge into the countryside.

It’s all very quiet at Cartbridge now. I’ve given PT a quick wash and we’re charging everything up whilst connected to shore power. If I’m feeling better tomorrow we’re head downstream to Weybridge and the Thames.
