Today’s signature thought has been so few boats during such beautiful cruising weather. I was feeling very confident entering the narrows before Autherly junction as I’d not seen a boat moving for maybe an hour so how surprised I was to see a tunnel light pop on as I entered. Not an issue a blast of reverse and we edged back out.
Autherly junction was a lot sunnier this time
Going back to my initial thoughts we did not see a hire boat all day until we had moored up. Lots of walkers on the towpath on a sunny Sunday.
We left Gailey visitor moorings above the lock at the end of the row ( a lovely mooring) at 10.05 am and moored up just past Stretton Aquaduct at 3.50 pm so a cruise of just short of 6 hours. Checking tomorrow’s last hop from CanalplanAC .....
This is a trip of 12 miles, 7¼ furlongs and 1 lock from Stretton Aqueduct to Shebdon Visitor Moorings travelling northwest on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line).
This will take 5 hours and 22 minutes.
Looks like another day of sunshine
