Oil change

After breakfast we moved Densie up through Great Hayward Lock to the AngloWelsh boatyard where we had booked an engine service. This takes an hour or two and consisted this time of a change of both the engine and gearbox oil.  The former is required every 250 hours running, whilst the later is once a year or so.

We left the boatyard at 11am and continued north on the Trent&Mersey Canal to Hoo Mill Lock where we were fourth in a queue waiting to go through.  Then onto Weston Lock , through the village of Weston where I had 5 sightings of kingfishers, and the 9ft 11in Sandon Lock.  We moored soon afterwards at 15:15 at the little village of Burston.
