The Shroppie -part 2




With views of the Wrekin,with the Clee and 
Breidden hill on the far horizon we wend our way towards Grub Street Cutting.


one way of avoiding a licence!!!


Grub Street Cutting is over a mile long and eighty feet deep wrapped in a thick coat of vegetation.  The most unusual feature if this double-arched bridge which carries the A519 over the canal.  The tiny telegraph pole is a survivor from the line which once marched beside the Shroppie for much of its length.


It has rained for most of the morning to we decide to drop anchor at Norbury Junction and sample the carvery at The Junction Inn, one of Trev's old haunts when he lived at Gnosall.


More close encounters


bridges


 rain

and countryside

We moor a mile from Autherley Junction, again with the aide of the plank and very much on a slant!!!
