Bridge 80 to Moss Hall - Shropshire Union Canal

 

Wednesday 7^th to Friday 9th October

Wednesday we met Sheila, Tony and Jane in the cafe in the marina and had lovely food and great company as always.  Thursday we stayed at the boat and just did a few jobs.

Friday – We are on the move today just to the bottom of the Audlem locks but first we are calling into the marina to get diesel and water.

  

We left our mooring and went under Bridge 80, on a bit further and turned into the marina.

We moored up on the service pontoon and a friendly chap came and served us with diesel. Once we had paid for that, we moved the boat across the marina into one of the bays and moored up there. Each pontoon has a tap so we filled up with water and got rid of our rubbish.

When all that was done, we went into the cafe for some brunch.  It is a great café, very friendly and good food. 

  

After our brunch, we went back to the boat and chugged out of the marina and down to Moss Hall where we moored before Audlem bottom lock.  In the afternoon, we walked up to the village and called round to Janes where we had tea and cake and a good old chat.  Harry was there and he was so pleased to see us which was lovely and we had lots of cuddles with him.

We are staying at the bottom of the locks for a few days then next week we will slowly make our way up the locks stopping at the various moorings on the way, then when we get to the top we will have another couple of days moored there before we finally say goodbye to Audlem.
