Turn onto T&M up two locks and moored up about 2:30pm. walked dogs back down locks to old BW workshops where this old waterways van is parked up


and across to the lake before returning via The Swan.

Thursday 17th September: Removed old tape from weed hatch cleaned up and replaced.  Prepped stern deck area and trapdoor access to weed hatch then painted with primer. Bridie tackled front cratch area floor and covers and also cleaned oven, grill and microwave. Purchased bag of coal and couple of bags of kindling from passing coal-gas boat that stopped to deliver to boat in front.
