Mendip & Explorer go to Bourneville

Good morning everyone. It's Pugwash again with another update for you. It's 09:50 on Tuesday September 27, Day 11 of our trip. We have been boating since 07:45 this morning. It is a lovely morning and the sun is starting to burn back the mist on the water. At 06:30 this morning as it was getting daylight the mist and semi light created a wonderful atmospheric scene (photos attached).
Yesterday can best be described as a long day. We left our moorings at the BCLM at 07:00 and boated for 12 hours non stop. We were delayed for over an hour by a long queue at Wheaton Aston lock. Our arrival at Norbury Junction saw darkness setting in. We relaxed over a good meal at the Junction Inn and retired before 22:00.
This morning we got underway at 07:45 with a planned destination of Audlem. Mike will be leaving us tonight to prepare for a visit to family and Martyn is joining us for the remainder of the trip. We are of course sorry to see Mike leave however we welcome Martyn aboard.
That's it for now folks, more late.

It's now 12:35 and at last I have a signal again. The Shroppie's deep cuttings stopped it.
