Benson Lock

Friday 11th July: A late night back from Wales meant a rest day around Benson. This one at Benson is a typical lock house on the Thames, which is also along a pleasant English walk across the river from Benson to Wallingford. We watched a narrow boat and pleasure craft go up and down the river, at the maximum speed of 5-9 miles an hour. The weir at Benson is almost overflowing due to the amount of rain that has fallen this summer.
