Sunny day became cloudy, but the fine weather persuaded us to go up the Bosley flight rather than climb The Cloud. Going into the penultimate lock we encountered something with the stern gear that sounded really serious. In the end it was a length of fender cable and hanger, probably with the fender attached when we first met it.
Strenuous work going up the flight, so tied up just after the permanent moorings following Bridge 52. Washing went out on the towpath.
2 bags of SuperTherm from the Coal Boat at £10.40 a bag.
1.5 miles, 12 locks, 4 hours engine.
