Making our way back from Godalming yesterday the temperature seemed to increase with every lock. We were so glad to find the perfect spot under some willows that we stayed here all of today as well. The weather forecast of 31, 35 and 39 ! over the next 3 days has forced us to change our plans. Mooring on the Thames is limited at best, let alone in the shade…….so it can wait until the weather cools ! The river Wey offers a lot more shady spots, many known to us.

So tomorrow we will head downstream for services, shopping and shade. I also have to do some electrical running repairs on the amp meter, luckily the smart gauge is now working giving us a good indication of battery condition and life. We must keep that fridge going…..and the ice creams it contains !

Don’t shut your eyes. You’ll think that you are back

Hello Mark and Hazelwow 39 degrees. Now you are entering into some real serious hot weather. Your shady willow looks perfect. Mark, I need to know, did you swim over, keeping the camera high and dry to the other side of the river to get this relaxing image? Perhaps a gentle curve to give the sense of being ‘over there’. Good job! You are visiting during a period of political turmoil. Perhaps you are both too relaxed to notice.loving your gentle cruise.Jen xxOn 23 Jun 2026,
