Miles: 7.5 Locks: 10 Lock miles: 17.5
Weather mild and looking to be a bit sunnier. Short cruise to Grindley Brook. Emptied toilet and rubbish. Lockkeeper in situ so quickly through the staircase.
Met three boats going the other way with vast crews so an easy ride through the rest of Grindley Brook locks.
Noted again the reed growth on the towpath side affecting navigation between Grindley Railway bridge and Bridge 26.
Pleasant boating - hot in the sunny intervals - following 2 other boats. Mid morning fruit for breakfast: coffee and 2nd breakfast at 11:30.
Boat ahead had problem at Marbury Lock with lock not filling. Some problem with downhill gates not closed properly - no problem for us.
A shady mooring spot with wide towpath alongside - let's hope the church bells are not too noisy tonight.
ADS did a bit of guitar. Salmon pasta for the good of our joints and a glass or two of booze.
