Having run out of smokeless fuel 10 days ago I have survived by using my gas central heating and burning the pallet that my new batteries came on, it has been chilly but by rationing the wood and keeping a sweater on in the evenings I made it to this morning ok, but it did not look like the weather was going to warm sufficiently for me to want to continue along those lines especially as the pallet was no more, so this morning I headed off to get diesel and some solid fuel.
It was very breezy and quite chilly but no rain and I had wrapped up well before setting off, not a long distance to reach Hillmorton Wharf but being a very small wharf I wasn't too sure I would be able to moor on the services but all was well and after making my purchases I continued along to the visitor moorings just before the locks.
Having a stove functioning again also meant that I was able to do a washload (for drying purposes) so having got moored that was first on the agenda, I then lit the fire and celebrated having a warm boat again with a nice cup of tea J
Tomorrow weather pemitting I will head into Rugby and replenish food supplies before finding out how Karl is doing with his efforts to reach Braunston.
No pictures today, I had allowed my camera battery to go flat.
Total today: 5.5 miles
