Well winters back, down to 0.3°C according to my weather station last night and not that great this morning being heavily overcast. Just through the next bridge CRT are installing a coffer dam along the offside bank. They had a couple of blokes in the water and I approached on absolute tick over which is extra low while the engine is still cold. a recorded speed of 1.5 MPH on the iPad and still got shouted at to slow down.
We passed a boat with all these bird boxes and insect havens on its cratch, I don’t know if it was a trader who sells them.
We arrived at Audlem Top Lock just as a boat was going down. While I was turning the lock Diana was stocking up on cakes from the lock cottage. As we were about to leave the first lock a boat came the other way, we did meet another at the 3rd lock and that was it. Turning all the way. CRT are doing more repairs down below lock 8. The towing path barriers have little gates in them, not sure of the reason.
