Bosley top lock to Etruria
Set off down the flight in bright sunshine, but black clouds soon came, and lots of rain fell. I and Jan led in Shadow and got to the bottom in two hours, Jan steering and me lockwheeling. Lee Swallow took three quarters of an hour longer.

We tied up at the bottom of the flight for a bit too long, as it was then a rush to get to Harecastle Tunnel in time to be allowed through. We got there at 1610, ten minutes after the last guaranteed passage. Fortunately the tunnel keeper waved us through.

At about 1800 we arrived back at Etruria for John to wash Shadow and clean the brasses ready for the next owners.
Enjoyed a takeaway curry as our evening meal.
