Whats all this queueing about????
We are at Spode Cottage. Passing beneath the A513, the canal narrows and negotiates a rocky cutting. One-way working is the order of the day and there are three boats coming through.
Formerly the site of Armitage(or Plum Pudding) Tunnel,a dramatic unlined bore through the rock face. Subsidence, induced by coal mining, necessitated opening out of the tunnel, and concrete lining of the banks.
This chappie is still watching over some long term moored boats.
Rugeley ahead
and a Tesco stop.
Pleasant surrounding continue from Rugeley,this is the delightful Colwich Lock.
A glimpse of Shugborogh Hall as we approach Great Haywood.
Always a very busy place.
There is just one mooring space left for us.
7 miles 2 locks 3hrs 20 mins.
