The wildlife to Wallingford
Wow another great day in prospect... We left Abingdon at 10.30am and it was just idyllic cruising weather. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEGJy_0joDQlibXyhqWUoEsAUcQZysvq-40cn05yMt49rL-U7hcaVydQls_7lu1cHEH05Rz8TETfFZzPO1U55Kyhz_KmIjSBBOc7AF2S1ycFpRmknAdWDZW_YnvhU3Kbgj87lC/s320/P1040403.JPG)
We got to the first lock at Culham and even the lock keepers had the brolly's out for shade.
We then passed Long Whittenham and Burcot and soon got to Dorchester. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs7bxOVXRRpy1wEIu-ZKAMCbv-Kp5h_wWJrTzgJWw26RsN8rh9pU1Vg8VGkY6-NNKSx6QyU-iW8N4wFFy494zKCwxhFOBizkDzEphWp5VDu5FPJRIXYf0mB0_HTEOyRMZShqvd/s320/P1040407.JPG)
The wildlife here was just fantastic and Thomas was having a bit of a treat. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTDO-L5HdJN48YAiffKIGO2eZpL_mAxUqz0Qv0sa86dc9VRHpHi9fAHpgymlrj7OrMbw5HyQmITll00anUeop0QD5nYLEMb3dFt2dzJDQWOsk-y4apghWOOJCNGRPGQ5Dw8QyB/s320/P1040415.JPG)

We then got to Shillingford and saw some lovely houses,
and then made our way to Wallingford where we got a mooring not too far from the pub. These moorings are signposted at five pounds a night but we haven't seen a warden.
Thomas and Al then had a walk round the town and when they returned we had dinner out in the cratch. As the lights on the bridge came on with the candles on Derwent6 it was a very tranquil evening. Still no warden!!!!!
