Just like last year, our first day was coming from the Mirena and travelling fourteen locks towards Birmingham and a picturesque mooring basically in the middle of nowhere.
All has gone well, we set off a bit later and made good progress we are moored up, have done some repairs to
scratches and are about to settle down for the night. We have decided this year to use the microwave more to make quick meals which means we get more time together rather than an hour cooking a meal. That worked well though we do need our portable generator to do that. However it worked we've eaten, everybody's happy.
I got to do some locks today as Alison has done a steering coursr and felt more confident in maneuvering the boat. Interestingly the lock gear is very unique to this canal, amazing that it's over 200 years old.
As the sun goes down on our first day, we are all happy and looking forward to 31 locks tomorrow and hopefully a wedding in Birmingham on Saturday.
