Overnight the weather was quite cold with the odd showers of light rain.
Morning: Early start and breakfast taken on the move. A few boats coming the other way meant a few locks were set for us. Met Graham Taylor the ex England Football manager on the towpath at Bagnall Lock. Seems he takes his dogs for a walk there from time to time.
Afternoon: Found a bywash that was flooding the towpath after the attentions of a couple of CaRT employees. Reported the matter to CaRT Customer Services as the CaRT people cleaning the bywash had cleared off.
Evening: Television watching and then an early night.
