Wheaton Aston to Little Onn (Shropshire Union Canal)



Thursday 27th August

It was dry when we woke up, so we decided to move on.

Cheap Diesel Here
Moored at Turners
First Bridge of the Day
Heron on the Towpath
Turner’s garage opens at 9am. We were moored opposite so just after 9am we went across and moored up on the pontoon.  The diesel was even cheaper than we thought at 63.9p so we filled the cans and the tank. The chap who runs the garage is really friendly and you can even have parcels sent to the garage and he will keep them for you.  We have done that a few times, really handy for us.
Another Bridge
We then set off along the canal. It was dry but no sun this morning.
Long Line of Moored Boats
Moorhen Going By
We went under a few bridges and the canal was very quiet and we didn’t pass any boats coming towards us.

After a couple of miles we moored up just before Bridge 24 at Little Onn, near the small village of Church Eaton.  This is a lovely rural spot to moor, overlooking fields and farm land, usually a nice sunny spot but not today!

Tree Canopy Along Here
A while after we got here, it started to rain and has rained all afternoon.

We are staying here tonight then moving to Gnosall in the morning and hopefully the rain will have stopped by then so we can get there in the dry.
