We were very pleased with our progress yesterday, but in the heat it seemed unnecessary to continue through the rest of the spaced out locks, and in any case the Radford Bottom Lock was closed after 3pm. This morning was cooler, as forecast, so we decided to set off reasonably early. Clare and Bryn did a quick forage to get milk, the only essential we were low on. We set off just behind another boat, having agreed as they passed to join them in the locks.
