We have a visitor. Posh Pippa is joining us for 3 days.
The 7 locks that make up the Marsworth flight are no hardship with stunning views at the bottom of a massive reservoir and at the top the Wendover arm juts off to the right and on the opposite bank is an old BW depot that is being regenerated into swanky new flats as is the way.
The summit is now reached at Tring in a deep cutting that is dark, never ending, very muddy and not a place I would wish to spend an evening. Too many zombies.
At Cowroast the canal begins it's long descent to Brentford. We spent a night here though had great difficulty finding a mooring.
Shame about the footie, maybe next time don't let the kids take the penalties. Roll on Qatar.
Next stop Berkhamsted to meet posh Pippa and again we had great problems mooring for the night. Berko is a nice enough town, very affluent with lots of chintzy shops spread along the High Street. Without doubt Berko has the best recycling facilities of any town we've visited and is all the cleaner for it. Other towns please take note.
Onward south, the locks continue thick and fast but after pulling out of lock 58 the boat ground to a halt. Prop foul. We pulled over to the bank to investigate and found a long washing line wrapped tightly around the prop plus loads of dead weed. It took an age to free the line, finally success, set off only to advance 100m and then ground to a halt again, more weed round the prop.

Tring Reservoir
The Tring Reservoir walk encompasses a collection of four different bodies of water with the Grand Union Canal sauntering on nearby, commanding the reservoirs’ reason for being.
Comprised of Marsworth, Startop’s End, Tringford and Wilstone reservoirs, the latter being the largest, these man-made wildlife havens were constructed two hundred years ago to provide the millions of gallons of water required to support the Grand Union’s ascent through the six Marsworth locks.
Tring Summit at nearby Bulborne is the canal’s highest point, having risen almost 400 feet from its origin at Brentford.
This walk can lay claim to being within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which heralds a great irony as there is nothing natural about the main attractions of this walk. However its artificial creation does not detract from the area’s inherent beauty.
Strolling along one of the three designated routes it would seem nineteenth century man’s need for fast transportation in an industrialised world, has today left us with a tranquil backdrop with which to free ourselves from the strains of the modern working equivalent.
This area is very popular with walkers and wildlife watchers alike and to escape the crowds I would recommend the longer five and three quarter mile walk which allows you to include the vast Wilstone reservoir. Covering one hundred and nineteen acres it spans an area greater than the other three altogether.
This route also gives you the chance to navigate by foot the abandoned Wendover Arm stretch of the Grand Union canal, which if campaigners get their wish, will soon be reopened to boats once more.
There is an eerie fascination to be had strolling along a route once very much out of bounds to the walker.
All three way-marked routes can begin from the Startop’s End car park in the village of Marsworth, but there is a charge and it can be oversubscribed at weekends. There is a pub and teashop here, providing toilets for patrons.
There are some parking places along the Tringford Road, but starting at the car park allows the walker to take in the sights and sounds of the bustling Grand Union canal.
Walking Threads
The canal towpath and the shorter way-marked routes are fairly sturdy under foot, but walking boots are certainly to be recommended. The longer route can be quite muddy in places during winter especially across fields. A bitter wind can stir up across the open stretches of water so a good fleece-lined coat would be my recommendation.
The Essentials
Location: Marsworth, Hertfordshire (nr Tring)
Transport: Car- Startop’s End Car Park Pay and Display or free layby parking near to Tringford Reservoir.
Buss- pass by from Hemel Hempstead, Aylesbury and Tring
Boat- visitor moorings are available on the canal here
The Route: A choice of three- 2.5 miles, 3 miles and 5.75 miles. Mostly level with a few steep climbs up steps for the long route. Care should be taken crossing roads as the walks often cross at blind bends
Facilities:Toilets available for patrons at the pub and tearoom in Marsworth
What to see: Many species of bird descend on the reservoirs and hides are available at Wilstone and Tringford Reservoirs.
