Had a brilliant day today weather wise and a very enjoyable cruise of about nine miles and eight locks up to Hazlehurst Junction and turn left for Leek branch. Met up with BW men at Consall Mill Lock trying to fettle gates that were leeking badly. borrowed our pole as they didn't have one long enough. Helicopter landed just ahead of us between Oakmeadow lock and Wood's lock in field by some moored boats. Past milestone with boat engine at Wood's lock of 3000 engine hours.
Very quiet mooring again, we were here last Easter. I walked down the fields and over the footbridge across the River Churnett towards the old asylum to see the railway tracks have been cleared since we were here last.
