Todays cruise on a cold wet day was 6.5 miles, 6 very deep locks, a pit stop and took me 4 hours 15 mins.
One of those days where it was a very steady drizzle that wet you through and played havoc with my specs...
🤣🤣🌧🌧
Now moored waiting for fuel boat & meeting some friends

Todays cruise on a very frosty and cold winters day (-2C) was 4.2 miles and 7 locks ❄️❄️☃️☃️
Frozen ropes were outdone by locks that need some TLC.( 25 mins to fill)
Nice mooring few minutes walk from Barlaston and you guessed it a pub.
