Day 16 - Long Itchington to Calcutt Marina

More rain!  Ten locks to ascend on the Stockton flight, so again we took it slowly and steadily - on our own, as no other boats were about.








At last, at the top!




A fresh food kiosk at The Boat Inn, bridge 21 - these are usually well worth buying from, as they have local produce..  but we were too wet and tired to stop


Perhaps a spot of decluttering needed?

Calcutt Marina had a berth for the night at a very reasonable charge of £15 - as well as laundrette facilities.  The 'berth' turned out to be breasted up with some other boats by the pumpout and required a fiddly bit of manoeuvring to turn around and get alongside with help from one of the Calcutt staff.  But it had an electric hookup and was just outside the laundry, so we were happy enough.
