The Shroppie is a lovely canal

Our final day and another lazy start as it was Rachel's Birthday. We set no alarms and slept until just before 9am... letting your body wake you is a singular pleasure of retirement for sure !! 

No boats until about 9.30 then a convoy of 6 went into the cutting  - I'd not want to meet that convoy !

We set off back to the mooring in ever hotter temperatures arriving back after a lovely cruise about lunchtime. We pottered and read and relaxed until it was time to pack up and drive home.

One issue is C&RT's contractors random towpath vegetation management. Sometimes strimmed sometimes left but non of the canal edging cut making getting on and off a boat dangerous as you cannot see where you are stepping ?








Only 15 hours of engine running - the Ecoflow did a great job  - see Here for that info. We did 10 locks but walked another 36 ! 

We need to get the new mooring more sorted and some boat jobs but we can do that during the really busy summer holidays when we can sit and watch the boats go by !
