Fens Branch

Here I am Rune

Distance 3.19 miles 

Total 5124 Locks  398 Tunnels

Running total mileage 7749.76 miles

 

Despite the forecast of rain showers we decided to head up the Stourbridge flight of locks and it seems it was a reasonable decision since we only had a couple of light showers, not even enough to bother putting a raincoat on. A helpful gent opened the gates of the locks ahead of us as they were all empty and set for us, so he saved us a few minutes. From Stourbridge to top of the flight took something like 3 1/2 hourse. We have moored for the night in the Leys Arm, and may well stay here for tomorrow as well to give me a chance to refresh the ‘Rune’ lettering on the side of the boat. I’m finding signwriting, even when overwriting previous lettering, is harder than it looks!
