Haywood Junction turning right towards the lock
which is causing great consternation!!!
But not for long and the Canal & River Trust guys even helped with the lock.
A fleeting glance of Shugborough Hall & Country Museum which we had planned to visit but alas time did not permit.
Lovely!!!
The canal runs along side the River Trent beyond Wolseley.
The power station at Rugeley where we stop at a new canalside 24hr Tesco where we do a big stock up shop.
Ooops nearly caught speeding!!!!
We moor at Spode Cottage on the edge of Armitage the home of Armitage Shanks, Sanitaryware.
10 miles and 2 locks
Onward to Fradley Junction, a flight of 5 locks of which we only do 2 then take a right turn on to the Coventry Canal.
It's volunteers all the way.
The wharf
We even get a volunteer on the swing bridge, now I could get used to this!!!
The canal wends it way to bridge 78 at Whittington where it changes from being the Coventry to the Birmingham & Fazeley.
Strictly no mooring beyond this bridge because of Whittington Firing Ranges.
6 miles and 3 locks and its time to moor at Hopwas.
