Cookham to Medmenham.

Friday - Ruddy grey and cold again. Hat & gloves were required when we pulled the pins, we followed on behind Klara to Hambleden lock. Sue did the honours with the locks push buttons, we were soon gliding through the Henley reach which was alive with early morning rowers practising for the end of the month regatta
