Today I walked back down the towpath and into Hemel Hempstead to look for a few bits and pieces I need, with some success, I am trying to buy a good sharp penknife for use in emergencies should a rope get badly snagged etc., the problem is with all the thugs around using knives you cannot seem to buy one in any major towns or villages, I will need to try a fishing tackle shop or maybe a gunsmiths. Not much to say about Hemel, just another sprawling shopping center with every 4th shop selling over priced coffee.
I walked back through Boxmoor, quite a nice little village but quite spread out, a mix of old and new housing, a couple of pubs, and a mix of small shops, but not much of interest to photograph. I should add that the area generally is quite clean and tidy and lots of open spaces for dog walking.
As I type this it is still windy with fairly frequent rain showers, looking now like Friday may be the day to move on.
