Stone to Bridge 102


Time to move on after a long weekend  in Stone.


Now we do like a boat that is different!!!


Goodbye Stone and on to Barlaston- at least that is the plan.


First its Meaford  Locks - the present flight of four replaced an earlier staircase of three.


They are in need of a bit of tlc!!!


The paddles are closed!!!


Trev has a visit down the weed hatch to remove a t-shirt wrapped around the prop.


Mission complete.


We decide to moor at bridge 102 and pay the Lakeside Tavern a visit...... it was closed.........ah well back to the boat for the tennis then!!!


We have been reading a lot about local communities adopting sections of the canals.....


and long gone are the days of towpaths being for the horses!!!



View from the kitchen window.

Easy day - 3 miles and 5 locks.
