Shebdon To Market Drayton, 5 Locks.



All hail the weather......










No, really, the hail is bouncing off of the roof as I am typing this........................nice.









Leaving our overnight mooring we were straight into the embankment/cutting/weed clearing routine. 






The views are nothing short of spectacular from the embankments............









and it's not too bad in the cuttings either. This is another bridge that goes by the name of "High".








Nature is really putting a riot of colour on display at the moment.








Arriving at Market Drayton late on Friday afternoon we secured this mooring right on an Aqueduct over a quiet country road.
This is the view over the stern........




and this is the view from the bows. Chalk and cheese there.

We have stayed here for Saturday and restocked Ubique with vital beverages, weather permitting we will be away on our travels of the countries canals supermarkets tomorrow.





Until next time.....................

Hi Charles,


Thanks for the comment and I am glad you have enjoyed reading the blog.

I take it you are looking to buy a narrowboat in the future and do a bit of traveling yourself.

If it helps, it is the best thing we have ever done.


Regards Chris & Debbie.
