Hatton Locks


...in the rain. We fortified ourselves before we set off with lunch just after the Cape Locks. Instead of the more usual food frenzy in the Cape of Good Hope pub, we had a modest salad on board the boat instead - yum, yum. Since we were last here the Cape has been dwarfed by these whizzy new apartments built right up against it. It doesn't look as though the inhabitants of the new apartments will be very keen on having narrow boats as neighbours, looking at that fence.

Passed through the first half of the Hatton flight in glorious solitude - hardly another boat moving anywhere. Did the second half in sideways rain, then moored to dry out and get warm...
