A lie-in and a short day Whoopee

Just three locks to the top and round the corner to position ourselves for the Hatton Flight on Wednesday.

It was like Piccadilly Circus at the junction,....... well 5 or so boats milling around........luckily we did not need water so did not have to join the queue there so just a couple of nice sharp turns onto the GU and moored a couple of miles from the top of Hatton.   We have arranged with Krystyna to go down the locks with them...they are in fact the boat that pulled out in front of us yesterday and made the skipper so grumpy......but we have chatted to them and they are a very pleasant couple from New Zealand.   Consequently the skipper is in much better humour today!!

Total distance:1.16 miles 
Elapsed time:1h28m57s 
Locks:3
Bridges:4 
Average speed:0.79 mph (2.81 lock/mph)
