Return to Peartree Farm FOTRN moorings

Carrying on our journey home we left Woodford at 10:25 and passed through 2 manual locks and 2 electric ones, the final being Titchmarsh where we were stuck last Friday whilst EA implemented a temporary fix to the broken mechanism.  It is now fully working so we did not have yet another manual lock to operate.

Hopefully we wont be blown away overnight!

We arrived at Peartree Moorings at 2pm but had great difficulty getting into the bank as the ferocious side wind blew us away from the moorings and across the river.  With much help from the skipper of narrowboat Iona we were eventually able to pull the boat into the moorings against the wind and secure her with 4 ropes, 2 to mooring spikes and another 2 around conveniently positioned trees.

Statistics: 6.74 miles, 4 locks, 3 hours 50 mins cruising.
