Once again we’ve got to the intended destination, Middlewich, with no notable dramas. Quite surprised as to how few boats seemed to be on the move now we are this side of Harecastle Tunnel, today I think we have passed three, and two more have come past since we moored. We have called it a day early again today as I wanted to pop into Kings Lock Chandery to see if I could either get a replacement seal for the diesel cap or a replacement air release valve for the Thetford Cassette. They failed on both fronts but almost had the Cassette release valve, they had two but not for my model.

The plan for tomorrow will be to get somewhere beyond Nanney’s Bridge (Bridge 8) since there is a bit of a pantomime of opening and closing the canal there due to a vehicle strike to the bridge. If I can get past there, they can do as they like!
