Sleep did not come easy being moored on a slant and as we are still behind schedule for being at Crick Boat Show for bank holiday weekend we were up and cruising at 7 a.m. - something we do only when needs must!!!!
At Autherley Junction we pick up the Staffs & Worsc which will link us back to the Trent & Mersey at Gt Haywood some 20 miles away.
The 'narrows' are still with us and yes we meet another boat who kindly revered back to let us through...
and after a bit of manovering...
we are on our way.
This is the Roundhouse Canal Shop at Gailey Lock.
It was originally a toll clerk's office.
Stafford Boat Club have the best set of lock gates ever!!!
The rain has given way to some much needed sunshine, as we meander through the valley of the Sow.
The final lock of our 12 for today is at Tixall
We moor at Tixall wide, a lovely oasis,
with views of Tixall Gatehouse for a well earned rest!!!
