Audlem to Market Drayton

Set out early to beat the anticipated queues up the Audlem flight and the rain that was expected later. Nice travelling in the sun, though a bit chilly at times. Tank light still not on – that's over a fortnight now since the last pump-out.

Ran a wash, and kept the engine running to finish it off. By then the rain had started – not heavy, just unpleasant – so we lit the fire, hunkered down and listened to Test Match Special on the DAB.

6 miles, 17 locks, 5 hours engine time.
