No blog yesterday as we both spent the whole day away from the boat on Inland Waterways Association business. Denise worked on the IWA stand at the Huddlesford Heritage Gathering with many old boats and classic cars attending and various trader's stalls. I went to a committee meeting to discuss next year's IWA Festival of Water following the success of the Northampton Festival.

This morning we set off in rather cold and misty weather northwards on the Staffs & Worcestershire Canal through isloated locks to reach the small town of Penkridge where we stopped around lunchtime to fill up with water. This delayed us for some time as the waterway was busy and we were third in the queue for the tap. Then a few more miles and a few more isolated locks to where we moored below Deptmore Lock just outside Stafford at 15:30..
We had hoped to go further but we were both tired. Our plans to get home on Tuesday are now in doubt as tomorrow's weather is forecast to be very wet.
