Pleasant cruise after a lazy start, with the breadmaker going, though very shallow in lots of places. Stopped off at Midland Chandlers but they were closed for Sunday. Passed five very trad barges, returning from a rally. Advised not to moor where Nicholson's says to moor, so came up further, just above Filance Lock. Went for a walk into Penkridge.
Engine seemd to be overheating slightly, getting up to 90ยบ. Oil pressure and Voltage readings seem normal. Weed hatch checked clear. Coolant could do with a little topping up, perhaps, but did not seem particularly low.
5 miles, 6 locks, about 5 hours engine time.
