Hi David Gotcha!! :o) Silly me ....for a few months now I have been trying to find a "canal route" from Newbury to London and couldn't understand why my search engine "Google" couldn't find one. Funny things happen when one gets something stuck in their head. Boy ... I just tried following the Thames on my map it isn't an easy task. It sure does meander around, your towns helped find the way to London. Thank you very much.
