Toby and Sarah arrived in good time to unload Zena and upload Oliver after sorting out some confusion about the entrance point as a result of a cricket match on the sports field.\u00a0 We then headed off for lunch at the Corn Mill a fine location that we had, of course, felt obliged to check out the previous evening.<\/p>\n

It was rather sad to have to say goodbye to Oliver after three weeks together but we felt sure we would soon meet again for another adventure on the waterways. \u00a0We felt better knowing he would be in good hands with Toby and Sarah.<\/p>\n

After a relatively quick lunch we drove to Trevor to acquaint Toby and Sarah with the aqueduct where we took a few more photos.<\/p>\n
