Not too cold this morning but it remains very windy. Annie kept the wood burner going though to cook our tea on it - makes a magnificent slow-cooker. About 12.30 we spotted Nb Whistler parked up in front of us. This belongs to our friends Graham and Jan whom we met at Frouds Bridge marina. They set off just after us but passed whilst we were at Theale. They have remained a day in front most of the way. We parked up in front of them (just as it started to rain hard) for a chat and cup of tea. They are heading up to York, but might cross the Pennines afterwards so we may meet later in the summer.
We set off again after lunch and continued along the very long 'summit level' which winds around the hill sides following the contours. Once we reached the Napton flight Annie took her bike off the back of the boat to cycle between the locks - moving on ahead to prepare the lock for the boat each time. At the bottom we topped up with water and moored up on the '14 day' moorings. After tea we walked to the 'Folly' pub for a swift one.
