Last day of our Autumn cruise.

Last 6 Lapworth locks.

Sharing locks with nb Yonderly.

Approaching Saltisford Arm.

Hadar now moored in her new mooring at the start of the arm. Some of the advantages of this mooring is that it is straight, does not have a concrete block in it, and we do not have to go to the winding hole to wind, we can come straight in and reverse out. 

Lots to do with the mooring so we have to get cracking.
