Tuesday 4th
9.53 entered the top of the locks, it took us 60 minutes to get down to the bottom we were following a very slow hire boat. Moored up at the bottom and went to Bridge 61 for coffee and to watch the fun and games as the hire boats came in to use the locks. arrived at Debdale 12.45.
Weather Hot and sunny. That's that cruise finished. Had a great time, with some very good company and despite all the bad weather that was happening all round we had only 17 days when it rained some time during the day or night.
