Tixall Bridge to Great Haywood

Quiet night. Started late. Canal depth much better than previous stretch. Met a Dutch couple at Tixall lock, and South Africans Brian & Celia next to our mooring for a week at the marina. GH by coffee time.

Asked Steve Pemberton about the suspected overheating of the engine. He volunteered to come at look at it in his own time.

Walked into GH to pick up book from the post office. Checked out the washing gadget again with plain water – seemed to work well.

2 miles, 1 lock, about 1.5 hours engine time.
