Market Drayton to Audlem. 17 locks.

Tempus Fugit..........................Only if you are having fun.



Now we do have a bit of a problem here.
After stopping a few days to visit the market, we could not wait to be back on the road again (so to speak). Our planned day was to move through the 5 locks at Adderley and moor there being ready to drop down through the Audlem flight of 15 locks in the morning.
We were through the 5 locks in the very slow blink of an eye and thirsty for more, 12 more locks and we forced ourselves to call it a day right outside a very convenient pub.




Here's another strangely named boat,
I have two on my list now,
Moose Drool.
The Vented Spleen.

I am sure we are going to see some more weirdly named boats on our travels, I didn't think you could beat Moose Drool, yet here is a contender.



The weirs running past the locks through here are quite something, this does make the handling a tad awkward to say the least.

Didn't see me take this one did you?

The door on this building is no more than 4 feet high.

You have just got to ask why the chimney?

Who would go in there and light a fire?
and why?

A boats eye view in the sunshine.

Few more locks to go then the turn to LLangollen, so far up already,

Until tomorrow..................
