Back to Overwater this morning, after a week back home for the annual “Music in the Park” in Castle Donington and to do a few jobs. Jan was pleased to see the horses, and to see how well Monty (The Old Fella) looks.
Set off about lunch time in the heat of the day, but our intention was to only do four locks and moor near the Bridge Inn in Audelum. Found a nice spot in the shade of a big oak tree and tried out my new Bose Bluetooth speaker. Pairs to the iPod in seconds and produces a sound that rivals my hifi at home.
Walked down to the Bridge Inn for a pint and a bit to eat. It's a standard Marsons pub. The beer was good and the food fine for the price. Sat in the garden under a tree talking boats as everyone in the pub seemed to be from a boat.
Early start this morning as we have a few locks to do before the sun is to high in the sky. The

Audelum flight consists of 15 locks rising 93 feet in one and a half miles. We did 4 yesterday and the remaining 9 today. Once at the top we found a nice spot in the middle of nowhere and moored for the day. I managed to buy some scones, jam and Cheshire Clotted Cream from the cottage at the top lock. High tea in the sun!
