Friday 23 October 2015

Easy morning this morning, we left Enfield at 10.00am for the final stretch of our journey.  Had a nice chug through this familiar area.  Disappointed to see that some of the paddles on certain locks have still not been repaired since we left back in July!

CRT do seem to be moving people on if they are overstaying their welcome and have made a lot of areas 14 day mooring in any calendar year which meant there were spaces to moor through Kensal Rise and some other spots that earlier in the year we wouldn’t have had the chance to stop even if we had wanted to.  This does mean that more people are now on the Lee Navigation.


We found a mooring in Broxbourne just before Carthagena and Lucy came to join us for the weekend.  

Not the best view from the lounge window!!  

I've gone ahead to open Enfield Lock and Steve is just leaving the mooring! 

Enfield Island - Lived in Enfield all my childhood but didn't know any of this existed!

Loved this programme when I was a kid!

Ramey Marsh Lock - this one has electric gates and manual paddles at this end and manual at the other.  There is a broken paddle at each end which makes emptying and filling much slower.

Through the lock and under the M25 - just between junctions 25 and 26!

Keep seeing these red bodied spiders at locks!

Approaching Cheshunt Lock.

So near to London and yet still very much in the country!

Nearly got this one - I think it's a sailing boat!
