Back Home

Heavy rain over night and first thing this morning but not to heavy when we set off at quarter past nine. We have never moored in this spot before and found it very quiet. It wasn’t long before we reached Glascote locks, we expected these to be against us as a boat passed us late yesterday afternoon. To our surprise the top lock was empty, looking closely it was due to the offside bottom paddle being up about 4”. It required the use of a windlass to take it right down.
By the time we reached the marina the drizzle was very light and thankfully no wind which made the revers down the marina to our slot relatively easy.

If you wish to see the complete journey on Google maps then its here you can also see all the trips we have made this year.

This trip we have covered some 116 miles, 118 locks in some 60 hours, we also did several tunnels, some 4 times and some only once.
