Go Jen!

10.02 Steve catches the train from the little single track station at Alvechurch, back to London. We set off for our trip of 30 locks down The Tardebigge - oh yes we love it so much that we're doing it again.

3.40 and we're back down at Tardebigge Bottom Lock near the Queens Head pub just beyond bridge 48 opposite Martin who seems to have a new friend so we have called him Colin.

We did really well coming down the Tardebigge, Jen has proved to be an excellent helms-woman, which has freed David & I up to open the locks and get into a really good rhythm. Dave running on a couple of locks, Jen steering and me filling in the missing bits in the middle - what a team.

Steve got home about 1.30pm which was good going as he started from the middle of nowhere.

David has just told us that we have done 316 locks, over 187 miles, through 22 tunnels since our maiden voyage on Averina on March 18th.

Lovely chicken fajitas cooked up by Jen for supper. Gorgeous warm evening with fantastic sky.
