Moored at Barlaston about 4pm today after six hours cruising in ideal
conditions, lots of sun, blue sky and a gentle cool breeze. In fact
that has been the pattern since Monday morning, aren't we the lucky
ones! Six hours cruising with 9 locks and a lift bridge behind us
today. Rather slow services at Etruria having waited for two boats to
take on water first but on the plus side we had six eager volunteers
helping us through the next two locks.
Have been on P.O. since Sunday
when we took over from our eldest at The Hollybush at Denford on the
Caldon canal. after he had been out for a week with friends. We cuised
to Leek on Monday having turned after a quick shop and using services at
Endon. Had a delay waiting for work boats to clear the channel for us.
We walked into Leek on Tuesday for a bit more shopping and a lunch at The Roebuck. Then had a late afternoon cruise back to Hazlehurst Junction.
Wednesday pottered on through Stockton Brook and moored up just after Engine lock from where we started today's cruise.
