Dry day, but mostly cloudy. Early start to be first in the queue up Frankton locks. Chatted with Amy the lock-keeper, and her predecessor of 37 years who wasn't keen on my landing on his "garden". After apology, we had a good natter.
Tied up in the Ellesmere branch. Launderette for all the bedding, and good internet in the Black Lion for some IT work.
4.5 miles, 0 locks, 3.5 hours
