The shortest cruise....

I've been dithering and uncertain about this cruise where to go how long to cruise etc etc.... I thought leaving it open ended would be more relaxing, turns out it's not (for me), it seems I need an itinerary.  Today we deliberated, again before deciding to just hop to the other side of Brewwod to a favourite mooring just past bridge 9 and the winding hole. Its a snuggler free spot only allowing enough space for one boat  - great for the cat.


As soon as we arrived we made a picnic having been away late again - that is not helping our travel plans.  A nice 4 mile walk was plotted picking up parts of the Staffordshire way and the Monarch's way.... 

An explanation from AI land 

The Monarch's Way is a 625-mile footpath in England that follows the approximate escape route of King Charles II after the Battle of Worcester in 1651. The route starts near Worcester, goes through the Cotswolds, Bristol, and Yeovil, and ends in Shoreham, West Sussex, passing through diverse scenery and historic sites. It is a long-distance trail that requires careful planning due to its length and varied terrain.   






Back on the boat at 4pm and some jobs were done and a early tea for us was taken - thats still 7pm 

We opened the bow doors and listened to a Tawny owl first then a juvenile screech of a Barn Owl. Tomorrow we wind and head back for a pit stop back at the mooring as I need to be somewhere on Thursday that nicely coincides with wind and heavy rain again - if we can trust the various weather guesses.
