We had a lovely evening with George and Carol last night, with plenty of boating and other stories exchanged. It was really lovely to see them, and not just make them work locks! I walked back with them to their car at dusk, and the towpath up by the lock was full of little frogs hopping about.
This morning the temperature was much more comfortable. There had also been some rain overnight, and there have been a few showers this afternoon, one of which brought some really heavy rain. We need a lot more, however, as canals keep being closed because of water shortages.
First thing, we walked up to Audlem to top of the fridge with a couple of things, and came back across the playing field to the path between the Mill and the Shroppie Fly pub. Then we set off, straight into the winding hole to turn around. We then did just a few miles to moor before the bridge at Hack Green.
This afternoon I went back to the Secret Nuclear Bunker to make some recordings for a future podcast.
3 miles, 0 locks. (11 miles, 2 locks)
