Penkridge To Hatherton Junction, 6 Locks.

Then On To Bridge 7 The Shroppie, 1 Stop Lock.

 

A crazy shopping day.

As it was a cracking day on Friday we left Penkridge in our wake and we were soon at this delightfully named lock. This was one of the six we worked through before we stopped for the day at a lovely spot out amongst the sheep and cows.

We were staying here for another day, but the weather was far too good to miss again so away we went.
Two or three hours was the plan as that would put us within easy reach of a supermarket that we knew about around Autherley Junction.

That plan was soon out of the window as this very narrow stretch is not far from the junction to the Shroppie, where does the time go?

Not the best place to meet a "Yellow Peril" coming the other way.

We had found their nest on Friday and that one must have been going home.

The upshot of the day was that we actually picked the shopping up and have moved quite a way along the Shroppie........... which is still as straight as ever.


There will be no moving today, the leg must rest.

Absolutely NO drinking allowed with these tablets..........AAgggghhhhhhhhh!!!!





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