We started out under gloomy grey skies and drizzle. Fortunately the latter ceased by the time we made it to Knowle locks. Lunch was taken on the move after Shrewley tunnel so that we could immediately attack the descent of Hatton. Brenda steered Jannock whilst I used the bike to ensure the locks were set ready. We finished the flight in 2 hours and 50 mins travelling solo all the way and only meeting one boat ascending. I fancied stopping overnight at the Cape as I have never been to that establishment but all of the visitor moorings were full, mostly by boats we recognised as still being there from when we last passed almost one month ago. We passed through Lemington and moored for the night out in the countryside just before the winding point at Radford. While Brenda prepared dinner, I switched on the BlackBerry and was totally shocked to learn of the death of Mike Stevens. What a terrible end to an otherwise satisfactory day. Our thoughts are with Wendy and the family. www.jannock.org.uk -------------------------- Graham
