It did seem strange to have decent facility block at Aylesbury, which even had a disabled toilet, and nowhere to put rubbish. It was as we filled with water that I happened to notice a red bin in the distance. Sure enough there was two bins, one for mixed recycling and one for general rubbish.The bins are situated by the pillars at the end of the Arm. Not the most obvious place, a good few minutes walk from the water point. The arrow marks the spot.
Didnt travel far today Up three locks and a couple of mile. We stopped at Broughton so I could go for a walk round the small lake and Ian could rub down the gunwales. Still had floating weed issues by lock gates as well as a huge tree trunk blocking the exit. Pole came in useful once again.

| Had this wrapped round our bow. Reversing was necessary to float it free |

| Moored at Broughton and more floating reed. |
