Over and out, 09:44 - EGB
We have successfully returned the boat – much unpacking and checking of cupboards. It seems we used 109 litres of diesel, leaving me £31:70 to pay, at £1:30 per litre (less deposit). No fee for the tiller. It seems it went well and six of us are good to come again next year.

We have descended the final lock of the expedition. It will surprise neither loyal readers, nor followers of the charts, that it is the same final lock as last year. Much luggage is stacked around the boat.

Earliest start, 06:45 - EGB
Here we are, just bobbing back to the boatyard – one lock to do. Keep right on to the end of the canal. Let the packing commence!

Last alfresco breakfast, 06:29 - EGB
Here I am, eating it, and Leonardo Devinci has not turned up to do the painting. What has turned up is A LOT of trains, particularly long freight trains, on the railway bridge about four boat lengths behind the boat. These didn’t bother Adrian as he lives about that close to the rails at home.

Tired little teddy bears, 22:22 -:EGB

The crew, old and new, all did very well. The weather was hotter than expected. While some…

Chinese and chippy, 20:54 - EGB
Adrian and Tony returned with not only the fish & chips but also the Chinese. It was very nice. The boat is still hot.
