Stone To Tixall wide, 8 Locks.

Out and back we go..........

As it is sooooo busy here at Stone we thought we would get a jump on the day and set off early, we needed to collect water and this seemed to be the best plan as the water point is packed all day long at the moment.
06.45 and we are ready to drop the two locks to the water point........not as ready as the boat who came past us as we were letting go.
Lots of  disbelieving stares between us later, we followed him down through the locks and guess where he was moored when we arrived........yup.

It was a glorious morning though and a few other boats were out and about making the most of it.
We are just moving down to Great Haywood Junction and back to check out the canal ready for our guests. Along the way we passed NB The Old Bovine and Armadillo both of whom we met at Braunston last winter. A quick catch up and we are on our way back to Stone.

It is absolutely pounding with rain at the moment, this had better stop soon.



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