Mostly dull but dry. A fair bit of traffic meant we queued at Wood End Lock and to get through the narrows. The most awkward moment was passing NB Sanity Again moored up, with a difficult bend, not a lot of room, and a boat coming the other way. I cleared them by about three inches, and only realised who they were afterwards. Glad we didn't touch!
Stopped to shop in Rugeley, and then used on to the 48 hour moorings by the aqueduct over the Trent – our first time to tie up here. Two of our neighbours had experience of going up to Lechlade and said that mooring on the Thames was not really too difficult.
