The sinking boat was pumped out during the early hours and the boaters transported back to the boat base to another hire boat. Apparently, the hull had sprung a leak, rather than the water tank! What a problem for the hire boat company!

Today, in cool but welcome sun, with a blustery chill wind we, no I did 20 locks all in the space of 4 miles. They brought us to Audlem where we enjoyed a very welcome Theakston beer, at The Shroppie Fly pub - see picture.

We didn't get to the secret bunker but it is open tomorrow.
