Soning to Pangbourne 9 miles, 3 locks, 3 hours (Saturday)

Left Yuri Gellers early to head for Goring.  We needed to get a good spot that was accessible by road as we were expecting visitors.  As we went under Soning bridge we spotted the post box built into the bridge.

Interesting to see the post man empty that!

As we headed towards Goring we spotted a nice mooring at Pangbourne so decided to stop, which turned out to be a really good call, as Pangbourne had some lovely shops, an award winning cheese shop, award winning butchers and an award winning Indian restaurant.

John, Annita and Sarah arrived at about 13:20, slightly late unsurprisingly to those who know them they had got lost!   We then had some lunch on the boat.

John and Rodney then went to get our van which had been at Sunbury for about 10 days.  The girls headed off to the park.

On the way back from dropping of the van John and Rodney were flashed down by a woman, no their luck hadn't changed she had spotted something hanging down from John's car, which resulted in John having to grovel under the car, I should point out it was pouring down with rain by now - which John  proceeded to inform us about on numerous occasions throughout the evening.  

We decided that as the Indian was award winning we should sample a take away it was really good.  So if you are ever in the area Pangbourne is well worth a visit.

Oh yes just one last thing, we all got woken up in the middle of the night as Sarah fell out of bed, luckily just a little scratch.
