We did meet up with Simon and girlfriend, Jenny on a beautiful, hot Monday afternoon. We enjoyed a short trip on Hunters Moon from Kings Langley to Hunton Bridge, where we had a really good meal at Hunters before returning to Kings Langley on a balmey evening for Simon and Jenny to get their train back to Brighton. It was good to meet Jenny and to have visitors.
Tuesday was the day we cycled back to Cowroast to collect car and deliver it to Apsley Marina for our journey home. A good cycle except for Jenny having a tumble off her bike, which landed he in a lot of mud, several bruises and a swollen wrist!
So, Jenny returned to Chi with a damaged wrist and Sid returned with a damaged back! What a couple of old crocks?! Dangerous game this boating!
Well, a couple of busy days at home allowed us to mend a little and are now nearing the point where we head off into London. The big decision we have to make is weather to go down the Slough Arm. Most boaters say " Why?". Apparently, there is not much to see and journeys end is unimpressive! However, it passes through Iver, were Jenny's family nearly moved to back in the 60s, Langley, where Jenny used to live and work and ends on the outskirts of Slough, famous for 'The Office'! So we may fly in the Face of advice and give it a go.
Sid is busy on Facebook at the moment, which will account for his odd messages!
Wrist injury sounds nasty, Jenny and bad back, Sid?, that's certainly not good for boating. Sounds like you have plenty of good reasons to do the Slough arm, so good luck with that. And it's not all boating injuries - bikes are dangerous too obviously!! Glad you having some good times despite. X
