Shiplake

Left the Thames and Kennet Marina before lunch time, not sorry to leave as the facilities and especially the pontoons are not up to the standard we found at Wigram's Turn. The pontoons are really short and the charge was £22 a night compared with £10 inclusive of hook up at Wigrams.

It's another scorcher of a day so after going through  Sonning and it's lock and Shiplake Lock we have moored on the opposite bank to Shiplake. Took Syla for a walk along the towpath and a swim to cool him down, now the boat smells of damp dog.
