Hot day from the start. Stopped at Compton to visit the small Sainsbury's, and had lunch. Called in with Oxley Marine to arrange for fixing the tiller bearing. All very satisfactory.
Tied up in the shallow stretch at Pendeford before Bridge 67. Found a good-sized Morrisons in Pendeford, alongside a school, community centre and modern church.
7.5 miles, 6 locks, 5 hours engine.
