It begins!

King's Cross to Paddington, 3.5 miles, 4 locks

Finally set off! After a couple of days of completely rubbish weather, it was finally fine enough for me to think I should make a start. Set off about 1:30 and had a leisurely trip to Paddington, where Oothoon is moored for the night.

The forecast for tomorrow is heavy rain, so I might not get much further for a day or two (talk about being a fair-weather boater!) but that's not the point. The adventure has begun and even Paddington is exotic compared with King's Cross.
