We started to an overcast day which didn't improve much, there were odd patches of sunshine but not many. There was only one boat went south before us and that was an hour earlier and one or two had come down. We arrived at Tyrley Locks we were unable to close the bottom gate of the first lock, I had a poke around with the boat hook and moved something which allowed us to close the gates. We met a couple of boats on the way up and had no further problems. BW were working at the top of the flight so I had a word with them about the problem and although they were unable to attend to it they did contact "The Office" so that someone else could sort it. We were going to stop at Norbury Junction for diesel at 69.9 but a friend told me it 66.9 at Wheaton Aston so I bought 130 lt there. Were were going to stay the night as it was 5 pm by the time we had taken water but I noticed a yellow generator on the back deck of the boat moored behind us so we carried on to almost Brewood and moored opposite the mobile home park. -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Join SOW and help save our waterways http://www.saveourwaterways.org
