Wallingford

15 miles 6 locks

We had a disturbed night. Some drunks were very loud by our boat around two o’clock in the morning. It sounded like one actually went into the water. Despite the lack of sleep we were still away by 7:15. We did the first Thames locks on our own as the lockies hadn’t come on duty. So it was Goring lock before we bought our licence.

At about 12:30 we reached Wallingford, luckily there was space on the visitors moorings, previously when we have been here they were all occupied.

Some shopping in tne afternoon, then just relaxing. After our evening meal we walked up to Benson lock and back, out 5 miles.

Wallingford bridge has 17 arches, though only 5 of them actually span the river
