More Long Boats

In the last few weeks we've been to lots of scenic and interesting places, where on arrival we've realised we've forgotten the camera. Farnham Castle, Guildford Tower and The Knole House at Sevenoaks (House is a huge understatement by the way... more like Municipal Precinct) spring to mind as particularly scenic examples of our forgetfulness.

So instead of beautiful photos of places such as this, we present for your entertainment more long boat pictures....



Here we are at the Wey Navigations (a man made canal running alongside the Wey River) near Pyrford lock - a pleasant 5 minute drive from Chateau Keezee. This seems to be quite a popular place for long boats - the lock was very busy.


The boats are parked on the edge of the waterway and extend up around the bend.....


.... and then along the next bend as well.... what could be the attraction here?


A quick look at the map might help us.



Ahh, here it is: The Anchor at Pyrford Lock. This pub is recently reopened and comes highly recommended by the Keezees - it is beautifully fitted out, has food, beer, Pimms and (very importantly for us) a playground. Not a bad view from the beer garden either.
