Last night we ate in the Dog and Doublet as they do Chinese food 4 nights a week and can recommend it. A bit boringly we both had the same main course, One Pot Malaysian Lamb Curry, and it was full of good meat. As we left the pub it was raining but we had taken a brolly with us.
This morning we woke to a fine, warm morning, back to our normal 10am start as no rush to get anywhere, we followed a Canal Time boat down the last 3 locks of the flight, we have seen very few boats going up, most have been coming down. I said yesterday that when we took on water it was warm, so today we decided to jettison the lot and refill with fresh water outside Fazeley Mill Marina, it also gave us the opportunity to buy a couple of ice creams. The tap outside the marina has just been repaired and the threaded outlet is smaller that most CRT water taps, luckily I carry a set of reducers so not a problem for us.
Once that was sorted it was a slow chug to Fazeley junction and then up the Glascote Locks, as we approached a boat was leaving the bottom lock and as we locked up, another boat entered the top lock to come down, good result all round. We only went as far as the 48hr moorings above Glascote locks and moored up for the night.
Todays Journey 5¼ miles, 5 locks in 4 hours.
