Wallingford Ideal Mooring

27/8/2014

I love getting one of these slots at Wallingford. It is, by my estimation, a lovely place to be.

A walk up into the town from the bridge gives us access to a huge branch of Waitrose. Boaters with plenty of money can stock up their galley cupboards.

Dorchester on Thames

23/7/2013

Dorchester is a favourite place but AViVA is here to accommodate Zoe, who is on a local Archeological dig.

Charmed by a lovely brood of ducklings.

May bank holiday and we headed downstream with our friends + their dog, Monty. This was the most beautiful of days, with strong sunshine.

Even with factor 50 sun cream, we all got a bit pink (not the dog).

Lunch at Kings Lock Island

This Winter has been extraordinary. 16 boats have sunk and the guys at Oxford Cruisers have been busy salvaging up and down the river.

We took a couple of days out and spent the night at Dorchester on Thames. As you can see here we found a very cosy mooring tucked in under the trees. We had a fabulous walk up to the top of Whitenham Clumps before a supper of pasta and olive bread.

Sunday cruise to Bablock Hythe

8/8/2010

A late start for us on a Sunday, never-the-less, we managed to reach Bablock Hythe for Strawberries on the grass. The field at Bablock Hythe is private, but a game of frisbie in bare feet is such a pleasure on grass cropped so short.

The light was beautiful on our return downstream, and since a member of our crew walked from Godstow back to Medley this gave us a rare photo opportunity.

You can see one of these photos below. Only now do I see how the fenders are strung out in such a peculiar (yet practical) arrangement.
