| Turning Around |
Today we are finally leaving Audlem and moving on. We wanted to fill up with water and the tap
is back up above the second lock, so we are going to reverse up the first lock
and moor just before the second lock then fetch the water in containers.

| Back in the lock again |
We left our mooring and Kev came down to the winding hole
and turned around. While he was doing
this, I emptied the lock and opened the gates and he reversed back into the
lock. I closed the gates and slowly
filled the lock and soon we were up the top and Kev reversed back up the pound
and moored up before the next lock.
 |
| Passing Over Water Marina |
Kev plodded up and down the towpath to and from the water
point with his trolley and container and after 12 trips the tank was full!

| Lovely Sunny Day |
We then headed back to the lock and down we went. We then set off along the canal to Coole
Pilate which are some lovely moorings made by the Shropshire Union Canal
Society with picnic tables.

| Heron Taking Off |
We passed Overwater Marina and chugged on along the
canal. It was a lovely sunny day but
quite blustery. There was a Heron on the
towpath which when we got to him, he flew off and then landed further up and
did that for a while. I tried to get a
photo of him taking off but didn't have too much success.
 |
There he goes again !
|
We went under a couple of bridges and moored up at Coole
Pilate.
We will stay here now for a few days then move on a bit
further.
