This morning we walked from the Fish and Eels pub mooring to Hoddesdon along a pleasant footpath. This crossed the railway and the New River. The latter comes as a bit of a surprise as it runs along the top of an embankment. No photo, sorry. In Hoddesdon we went to the parish church, St Catherine and St Paul.
We were back at the boat by 1300 and set off straight away. We kept on the Lee Navigation at Rye House, travelled through picturesque Ware and reached our destination, Hertford, at about 1745. I imagine many boaters would stop at this bridge.
Not us. We carried on past here ...
to the true end of navigation here.
We reversed back to the winding hole, still beyond the official end of navigation, and tied up outside the Old Barge pub on the last (first) legitimate mooring on the Lee.
Just as we were starting to reverse it started to rain quite heavily. By the time we'd tied up it had stopped, but I got pretty wet. (The previous two days rain came immediately after we'd stopped - we were a few minutes late today.)
We went to Dil's Indian Restaurant; Jan enjoyed her sizzling chicken nawab, but my madras was below par.
