Boundary Stone to Kinver (Staffordshire & Worcester Canal)



We are moving onto Kinver this morning, it is only a mile or so away, but we want to catch a bus to Merry Hill Shopping Centre as we have bought ourselves a new toilet, one with a ceramic bowl which Thetford have recently brought out, they were always plastic but they have brought out a ceramic bowl toilet and so we have now gone upmarket!  It came with one cassette but we need two, so we ordered one through E-Bay and you can collect it at Argos so that is where we are off to today.

In Whittington Lock
We chugged on along the canal and it was another fine sunny warm morning and soon we came to Whittington lock, there was a boat in front of us, so we waited for them to go through then it was our turn.  This is quite a deep lock but didn’t take too long and soon we were underway again.

Up we come
We went around the bend and moored up in the visitor moorings at Kinver.  The bus stop is not far away from the canal so we walked up there and got the bus.  It is about a 30 minute journey to Merry Hill.

Our TV aerial also decided to pack up so we first went to Screwfix to get a new one, then had a walk around the shops and had a Chinese lunch in the food court in the shopping centre then to Argos to get our purchase then back on the bus and back to Kinver.

Kev wired in the new aerial and hurray we now have TV as we haven’t had it for a few days.

We are staying here tomorrow as well as we want to visit the Rock Houses again.
