The last full day of the Summer 2014 trip. We awoke rather late after an enjoyable evening out last night. But we were able to set off at 9am immediately descending Star Lock and soon afterwards Aston Lock just beyond the edge of Stone. However as it turned out we hadnt started early enough as an hour and a half later we were fifth in the queue at Sandon Lock.
There were a similar number of boats waiting to come up so it was about an hour before we were able to travel onward. Then along the familiar route via Great Heywood Junction and Heywood and Colwich Locks (another queue) mooring at Wolseley Bridge just before 4pm after being on the go for 7 hours.
It means that we are now in easy striking distance of our home mooring with no further locks. So an easy run tomorrow even if the weather turns bad.
This is the last blog entry until our next journey, perhaps in October or maybe not til next year.
