With clearer skies this morning we headed back onto the River Wey, but first Thames Lock. It’s unusual in having an additional lower pound to lift you over the cill when the Thames is low. It’s also the only manned lock on the Wey, run efficiently by Tracey.

Checking the weather forecast rain is due this afternoon, time to crack on..BUT..every lock is set against us, next Town then Coxes.

We do a quick shop at New Haw Lock, luckily we can share this time, making things considerably easier for Hazel. After a long pound we call into Pyrford Marina to top up the diesel and get a replacement Calor Gas bottle……yikes that’s £80 !

Passing thru Pyrford Lock then the ever open Walsham Gates, only used in floods, to find our old T42 favourite spot for jet lag recovery vacant. Perfect timing, after an hour the rain starts !
