Day 44 – Newbury to Great Bedwyn

Sunset in Little Bedwyn

18 Locks and 11 miles later I feel exhausted.

I’ve got to go to bed.

Going to leave you with these photos.

The day has been filled with locks, a lot of them had blown open in the wind. A lot of them had paddles open.

Got another full day tomorrow, so I’m going to make this a short one.
