A continuation of the very pleasant Autumnal cruise with excellent weather today. Sadly we have still failed to see any Kingfishers this year, both on this trip and the earlier one in May/June, I don’t know where they have all gone. Today’s trip went ahead with no real dramas, we caught up with the heritage boat ‘Buckden’ that we gave a tow to yesterday (currently moored opposite it outside of the Utilita Arena. It seems that the engine problem that he had was a stuck exhaust valve which was why he was only firing on one cylinder (but it still ran!!). Now that is fixed he is on his way rejoicing to the meet at the Black Country museum this weekend.
For us it will just be the trip back into Hawne Basin tomorrow as we are off to Belgium/Germany next week.
