Awoke to find there there was no gas so had to make a trip to the Sawley marina chandlery to get some. Decided that the wind was not as bad and went for a day trip westwards. Must have turned round near bridge 11?

February 26, 2000 Takeover day

Having spent the night at Fionas I went ahead of the others to meet Pete Hawkins and takeover Jacob at Shardlow. Fortunately I spotted that there was not a full complement of gas bottles and he got them from the building next door. Unfortunately it was too windy to go anywhere so were unable to get to Burton by boat for the beer festival. So the beer festival had to be visited by car and had to do a crawl of the local pubs instead. Clock Warehouse, Malt Shovel and New Inn.
