More Ramblings

Since the last witterings, we moved on up the Staffs & Worcester canal to Great Heywood for a few days, whilst there we met up with Eric and Elsie on Bendigedig and caught up on the latest gossip. Moving on from there we put the boat into Great Heywood Marina for a week whilst we went over to Norfolk, to see Lisa and Megan and Ffion our granddaughter's. Martin, Sophie and grandsons Ethan and Ptolomy came over to see us during our visit as well. It was great to see every one.

Once back at Gt Heywood we headed for Etruria junc on the Trent & Mersey and turned onto the Caldon canal, about 8 miles along the canal it splits, one arm going to Leek, the other going to Froghall. We took the Leek arm, but soon found the boat touching the bottom in some places, so we turned at Leek and beat a retreat back to Etruria junc. Whilst on the Caldon the weather was very kind to us, with just one day of rain.

At present we are moored at Stone on the T & M heading back to Gt Heywood junc
