Lot Mead Lock

We started the day by drifting across the cut to buy a newspaper at the nearby service station.  Sadly, the access from the canal is being overgrown by nettles and brambles.   A machete will soon be required.  At the first lock the bike came out again and we resumed lock-wheeling.  All the way downhill we had no traffic ahead and again, all the opposite direction stuff was perfectly timed.  By 16:10 we had reached Bridgewater Boats wharf at Croxley where we needed a full cylinder of gas - now an amazing £17.50.   We then proceeded on to a mooring above Lot Mead Lock.
