Super Heroes!

Day Four – Afternoon saw another two more donations in Marlow lock…Thank You!
Pushed through to the Bourne End and stopped for a break at the Bounty. This was going to be our last stop on Day Four but with over 15 miles to go we agreed again that we would push on.
The Last Leg
The river surprised us at how beautiful it could still be this far down particularly the stretch below Clevedon!
Through Maidenhead we received our fist heckling from the river bank but as this was only Maidenhead, “Row, Row, Row your boat gently down the stream” was the best insult these boys could muster.
At the Oakley Club between Bray and Windsor we stopped to rescue a little boys tennis ball. We’d like to think that he thought of us as two pink suited Super heroes but he’s probably since heard his parents describing us as “those two poofs in a boat”. Never the less, they gave us £10 for PD!
Simon continued to complain about his sore bottom to every one that was prepared to listen, mainly the uninterested Lock Keepers.



Tony enthused about the amazing properties of Vaseline.

The Last Bend
So just before Ham bridge outside of Old Windsor we turned a bend and to our great joy, it truly was music to our ears, we heard a whoop and wail and great cheering from our lovely family’s and friend Richard. WE HAD DONE IT!
