Guildford

Arrived just outside Guildford on Friday evening after, what turned out to be a long day for us. We managed to rendevous with Rosie and Jenny's mum at the New Inn in Send at lunchtime. The sun was shining but we were still being plagued by strong winds.

By the time we got on our way again we had shed our overcoats and had a beautiful afternoon boating along the Wey, which looked so different in the sunshine. The countryside is so picturesque and our spirits were lifted.

The previous day we had been visited by Janice, Dave and Emily. We went for a little jaunt as far as Newark Priory and although it was breezy and we did have a little shower there were also small glimpses of sunshine. Emily enjoyed herself, Dave helped with the locks and Janice took the helm. Needless to say the day ended in the Anchor before we said our farewells.

Janice at the helm!

Today (Saturday) we had a short trip to Dapdune Wharf in Guildford. It is a very pleasant and safe mooring where we intend to wait for the wind to subside and the heavy showers to clear away. We will have a good look around the Wharf and are hoping to connect up with Adam, but so far he is being very elusive!

The Wey is not only very peaceful, despite it's proximity to the M25 and A3, but also so well kept. So far we can only congratulate the National Trust for he splendid way it manages this beautiful waterway.

Now we are in the Guildford and Godalming area we are hoping to have some visitors.  We will be cruising in the area for the next week or so.  If you fancy meeting up give us a ring and we will arrange a get together.
