Laleham to Eton Dorney 11 miles 5 locks 4 hours

Had a very relaxing weekend in Laleham had a visit from Carol & George on Sunday, Tracy and Carol visited Hampton court whilst George and I watched the cricket and the golf.




When the girls returned it was off to the Three Horse Shoes in Laleham for a lovely meal, a big thank you to George & Carol for coming to see us.

Left Laleham at 8.00 into the first lock at Penton Hook back gates wouldn't shut so a bit of a delay then we decided to start to open the slackers on the other end and the water pressure was enough to shut the gates.

On through Windsor passed the Castle and the race course and to our mooring just opposite the 6 furlong start position of the race course and by the side of Eton Dorney rowing course.





You can just about see the castle in the background, Tracy is off to visit on Wednesday so will get a much better picture then!



Later that evening we all took a walk to the rowing course.
