Stone (2)



Here I am Rune
Distance 0 miles
Total 1061 Locks 58 Tunnels
Running total mileage 1444.2miles

Eventually the decision was made that we’d stay put for today and move on to Wedgewood tomorrow since the weather forecast for tomorrow is really good, starting to warm up a bit. The other key to the decision was the fact that we’d been awake a bit last night awaiting a phone text to tell us that we are grandparents for the second time, the text came through at about 2.30am, although by then it’s a bit late for celebrations. 

Today the weather has been back to the icy wind and we have once again had to light the fire. I did take the opportunity on a standstill day to go for a swim in the local pool but even that was a bit rushed since the session only lasted an hour and it takes me that long to swim the mile distance that I try to do whenever I go swimming.

Tomorrow we must move on though since the water tank will need filling, we have two full elsan cassettes and one of our gas bottles has run out.
