And so we split

Two go south and two go north. It has been a hard winter spent with good friends and we have so enjoyed their company. Three days later we got to Penkridge as the days got cooler. Thin ice on the way reformed into a sheet while we spent time shopping at the market. “Just hope it does not get too thick again.” Don’t fancy staying on the towns ‘Visitor Moorings’ due to some night disturbance with people and their lack of respect.

So next day we all moved off heading for a weekend mooring by Shutt Hill lock. We were breaking thin ice all the way and this morning it had got broken up by a boat going past us.

That lock had just opened after 10 days of repair work.
