Overnight the weather cold but no rain.
Morning: Late start after doing a few preparations. Weather improved and at times was quite warm. We just chugged along heading
Windmill End via Netherton Tunnel.
Afternoon: After Windmill end this is new water for us so we took our time and enjoyed the trip. The
sun was quite hot for most of the trip. Arrived
late afternoon and found plenty of mooring space.
