Well its Wednesday night now We have covered around eighteen miles and I don't know how many locks We have done the massive river Trent ,the Trent and Mersey broad  canal and are now on the narrow locks , much quicker to work. we have spent some time travelling with a boat from Nottingham council "captained" by two nice ladies and crewed by a group of Duke of Edinburgh  Students on a five day trip.
Sun stroke is a distinct possibility , the weather is so good  but will it last ?
will try and add  pictures later , have now now got a 4G thingy Thanks to Mohamed  , (Mo according to his badge)  at PC World.
