Leaving Pyrford Lock
Approaching Newark Lock and Priory
Papercourt Lock (No really!!)
the locks on the Wey don't have ground paddles so you have to rope to a yellow pin near the lockgates at the bottom of the lock so you are as far back as possible from the fierce gate paddles.
this is the limit of navigation with a horse boat waiting for the horse and the punters.
to the right of the picture a brand new Sainsburies and they were giving out reusable jute bags with designs done by the local kids. So we now have two.

Blurb
When we moored back outside the Manor Inn (Beefeater) again the horse boat went past. Each time the first we knew of it was when the horse plodded past so we didn't get the best photo opportunity!
