Rode Heath to Lock 61

Horrible morning forecast (and realised), so got up late. Set out at 11 as the showers were beginning to die away. Usual mixture of straightforward and horrible lock gear. Nice sunny afternoon.

Encountered a stoppage due to failure of lock 63, so ended up in a long queue above lock 61, to wait overnight. Went down to see CaRT working on the lock, and we're promised we'll be on the move in the morning.

3 miles, 8 locks, 3.5 hours engine
