2nd Day.

Quick walk round Brewood,  before setting off at 10:45, stopped for lunch just passed Norwood junction. Stopped at B42 (Anchor Inn) for the evening at 5:05. Cruising for a total of 5 hours. Unfortunately the Anchor wasn't open,  not completely unexpected as it only tends to open at weekends during the Winter. 

13 miles & 1 lock equals an average of 2.8 lock miles an hour.

Easter 2016 Shropshire Union to Audlem & return.

Water seeping from join in pump

First day,  started off badly. Water in cabin bilge to be mopped up and a  replacement

Nappies & towel to mop up water

coolie hat to be bought.

Water first spotted in bilge on Sunday when 90 liters was pumped out. The source is the fresh water pump, which is 'weeping' water from the join (see photo). An internet search indicates that the diaphragm needs to be replaced.

The coolie hat disappeared in a high wind about two weeks ago. Replacement cost £12 from the shop at Autherley Junction.

Left Hatherton at 1:15 arrived at Brewood at 5:20. Stopped at Autherley for water and bought new collie hat (£12). 12 miles &  1 lock in 4hrs & 5mins an average of 3.2 lock miles an hour.
