Uphill To Endon

Norton Green Lift Bridge

Stockton Brook Locks

Another mason's mark

yet another

A warmer and rather humid day but fortunately there was no rain.  We set off at 10:50 and ascended Engine Lock which was followed by 2 lift bridges on farmer's tracks, one electricly operated and the other operated with a lock windlass.  No cars were inconvenienced this time.

The bridges were followed soon after by the 5 Stockton Brook locks where again there was a variety of mason's marks to be seen, particularly at the top lock.  A couple of miles further on the stopped at the Endon services where we had a pump out and refilled the water tank.  As the time was now after and we are ahead of schedulen it seemed a good point to moor up for the night.

3 Miles, 6 locks, 2 lift bridges
