Lovely Night Sky |
And in we go |
Yesterday (Sunday) we stayed put and had a lazy day chilling
out and went for a walk down to the village, then watched the Grand Prix.
One out, One In |
We set off fairly early so as to beat the rush going down
the locks. Lock 3 was just along from us
and there was a boat in front so we had to wait for them to go through, then it
was our turn and we worked our way down the locks.
Out We Come |
There was quite a few boats coming up so passage was fairly
quick. We met our friend Al who moors on
the Gloucester & Sharpness canal coming up the locks, it was nice to see
him.
A few more to go |
We went down a few more and moored between locks 11 and 12.
Passing Al |
We then had our breakfast, bacon from Buttercross Farm shop
in Market Drayton and eggs from Bridge Farm at Wheaton Aston and jolly good
they were too.
In Lock 11 |
We went for a walk down to the church as there was a cache
there, well we had to go to the church first to get some clues from the war
memorial to give us the coordinates to find the cache and once we had them, we
set off down the road and then down a lane onto a footpath and we soon found
the cache. We followed the footpath back
to the village.
We also popped round to see our friend Jane who is
recovering from a hip operation and had a chat and a cup of tea with her which
was nice.
We are staying in these moorings now for a couple of days,
then moving down the locks a bit further.
Tomorrow we are off to Hankelow the next village to the Golf Club to
bash some balls down the driving range so looking forward to that.
Moored between locks 11 and 12 at Audlem |
