Timelapse: Clifton Hampden to Beale Park

On Sunday 29th August 2010 we cruised on nb Willow from Clifton Hampden down the Thames to Beale Park for the IWA Festival. This timelapse film shows us getting away as dawn was breaking. We left out mooring at 0600 and were into Day's Lock at 0635. This was before electric power was available for "self service" operation of the hydraulic gear. Hand winding was hard work! We were out of the lock in twenty minutes.

Wallingford rowers made things a little awkward for a while ... but, at 1000, we saw the first outlying boats moored for the festival. We tied up outside five other narrowboats in our designated spot at 1010; at 1015 we were at marquee where the Boaters' Christian Fellowship service was about to be held.
