Somewhat tired

After chugging through some fabulous British bank holiday weather we've made it to Perry Bar which is exactly where I was aiming for on day one. We've had to contend with huge pieces of plastic wrapped around the prop which really don't help with things at all. It took me 45 minutes to get this thing untangled with my arms in freezing cold canal water up to my shoulders. I really couldn't feel my fingers by the time I'd finished!

A little while further on, whilst trying to leave a lock, I suddenly realised that Relativity would only go backwards! The gear change cable had broken so we had to pull over and make repairs. Another 90 minutes by the canal side and we now have a very fetching looking broom handle to change gear with. Try that by the side of the M4!

Off to bed now. Will add photos in the morning.
