| Leaving Tame Aqueduct |
The sun was shining again and it was nice and warm as we set
off along the canal past Polesworth and through Tamworth which looked okay and
onto the two Glascote locks, there was a boat just coming out of the first lock
so we went straight in and the lock emptied quite quickly so we were soon onto
the second lock and guess what there was a boat coming out of that one as well
so we were soon through that one too and on along the canal, over Tame Aqueduct and we stopped just
before the junction.

| Approaching Fazeley Junction |

| Onto the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal we go |
We had some lunch then walked up to the junction as last
time we were here there was a craft centre and café in one of the buildings at
the junction but unfortunately it is not there anymore. We walked up onto the road just to see what
shops if any there were and there was a few including a Tesco local and a few
takeaways. We walked back to the boat
and chugged off down to the junction leaving the Coventry Canal behind us and
turned left onto the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal.

| Drayton Manor Footbridge |
 |
| Birmingham & Fazeley Canal |
We went along there for a couple of miles underneath a
curious footbridge, a marvellous folly and a swing bridge which is left open,
these features make the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal pleasantly eccentric. We chugged down to the next bridge and moored
up just beyond it. We have moored here
once before, it is a nice sunny open quiet spot.
We are staying here tonight then moving on tomorrow.
