Hapton to Barrowford

Pleasant day for coming through Burnley. Stopped at the wharf to visit Tesco and see the Weavers' Triangle museum. Encountered some kids with water bombs later on and were glad to get to Barrowford locks Tied up below the bottom lock.

Dropped the tiller pin, which bounced off the dodger into the canal. Couldn't retrieve it.

Auxiliary battery light was showing on intermittently. Don't know what that means. May ring RCR tomorrow, especially if we don't move on because of the weather. But don't know if it will be covered by them. Rang the engine a bit extra before 8 just in case.

10.8 miles, 0 locks, 4.5 engine hours
