Kings Langley

A hard day locking today (Thursday) with most locks on the descent being empty. For most of the day we appeared to be the only boat on the move, despite the good weather.

Just as we wondered what to do about lunch we reached Fishery Lock and discovered the Fishery Wharf Cafe. This former pop-up is based in a series of ramshackle buildings along the canal and is a quirky setting. We had a couple of delicious chicken wraps a soft drinks. They went down a treat as we sat out enjoying the sun. It appeared to be a popular lunch location for locals.

 After lunch we continued working locks and finally decided, around 5 o'clock to call it a day at Kings Langley. We contemplated going on until six but were persuade to stop by the discovery of a good mooring and other boaters descriptions of mooring congestion around Watford.
