| Looking back from our mooring at the lock and Marlow church |
In some ways we had a lovely spot right at the bottom of Higgenson Park BUT it was a bit too public for my liking. Mind you it had the attraction of an very adjacent ice cream van!
Marlow is still a lovely if expensive spot. Mooring has gone up again now £14 a night however we bit the bullet and paid up. That does give you entry to the showers in the sports centre and reduced price entry to the swimming pool, neither of which we took advantage of. Interestingly there are quite a few empty shops on the High Street and we have heard that Waitrose is to close as it is not making a profit here. Today we have gone down through Marlow lock and were lucky enough to find a space on the moorings below. Room for about 4 boats n a nice quiet spot but with a reasonable size park area just up the steps from the mooring so all good for Barney
The town is nice (if you are not driving!) but we rebelled against the price of most places Sunday lunch and once again visited M&S Simply Food and did much better.
All Saints Church by the bridge is large and the congregation at Sung Eucharist was moderate but very friendly. As we chatted on departure the church was beginning to fill up again for the following service which was apparently much more informal....seemed to be a big difference in the age group coming in as well!!!
Onward tomorrow and we hope we will be lucky enough to find a mooring at Cookham.

Hi Gill,
We heard that Waitrose used to be on the site now occupied by the larger of the two Sainsburys in Marlow, but that they didn't pay the rates or something similar and the site was taken over by Sainsburys sometime later.
Waitrose's current site there is a bit out of the centre of Marlow and most folk just won't/don't walk up that far. It's a shame really as Marlow really doesn't need two Sainsburys shops.
