View from the side hatch as we left Wallingford
A Crested Glebe- its tufty head is just about visible.
A broad,very pleasant stretch of river heading towards Moulsford.
The pill boxes are still in evidence and well hidden.
Today's version of the Thames boathouse, and very nice too!!!
Moulsford Railway Bridge, built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1840. When the line was quadrupled fifty years later, a second span was added.
The Beetle and Wedge Boathouse where H G Wells stayed whilst writing 'The History of Mr Polly'. It features in the book as 'The Potwell Inn'.
Glebe Lock and time to take on water.
Now that's what you call a hosepipe!!!
Half a mile down river is Goring Lock
Three cruiser behind and one waiting alongside the water point
Sokai and Arkholme take up one side of the lock
All four cruisers fitting snugly alongside.
Here we are breasted up along side Sokai, mooring's are at a premium.
Now for a flavour of Goring
The High Street.
Goring Mill
Three weirs!!!
A beautiful example of a houseboat.
George Michael's house it would appear!!!
