By the way, the fourth county was West Midlands (Worcestershire in old money) - a small corner thereof in the south-west of the Ring near Wolverhampton. Thanks to Martin for this information, though the former working boatman with whom he discussed it described Rings as "only for b***** tourists".
Total: 275 miles, 162 locks, 9 tomatoes
25 days - 3 rain-free.
There were times when we wondered why we did it. Perhaps our readers did too!
By way of explanation, I offer the following, attributed to Mark Twain:
"Twenty Years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow lines.
Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the tradewinds in your sails. Explore.
Dream. Discover."
'Till the next trip...
Au revoir .
