1st New Marton locks 7 miles 1 lock

Made a prototype window. Just what Kath wants so started manufacturing them in ernest. Took me over a week to make them. I fitted one and got the call for my cataract operation so showed Scott how to fit the others and left. Eighteen windows in total four double width and fourteen singles.


A mini narrow boat, 4ft wide.
10th to 30th Twyford Bridge 184½ miles 93 locks 1 tunnel 7 lift bridges

Cataract operation booked, must rush down to Banbury to make the appointment.
A diesel leak has been bugging me for a while and when I got to Black Flat Bridge Barnaby came out and replaced the fuel pump that was the source of the leak.
The diesel leek has rotted one of the engine mounts and the engine is beginning to make the whole boat vibrate so when I got to Norbury Junction I tried adjusting the engine mounts as best as I could.
At Autherly Junction I had a new engine mount fitted, only one as the boat yard only had the one.
Moored at Rugeley for the night as they have a good chippy close to the canal.
Arrived at Banbury with a couple of days to spare.
