Penkridge to Acton Trussell

Very wet morning, and were going to stay put, but cheered up the afternoon so we moved. Stopped off at Midland Chandlers to look at a 12 volt fridge. However, their opinion of how many amps it would use was not encouraging. A general discussion about the way the batteries run down overnight when the inverter is on led to their recommendation that I consult Clive Penney.

Tied up just beyond Acton Trussell. Running the engine a bit further in the evening.

3.5 miles, 4 locks, 4 hours engine
