Delayed but not defeated

Descending Tixall Lock

As forecast it rained heavily this morning so we didnt move.  But, as also forecast, the rain stopped at around 1:30pm and we set off shortly afterwards.   There was another shower of rain but it didnt last long.  We made good progress through the attractive countryside beyond Stafford passing through Tixall Lock and turning right onto the Trent & Mersey Canal at Great Haywood.  After a couple of locks and a few more miles we moored at Wolseley Bridge where there is a convenient pub, a total journey of 3 locks and 8.5 miles.

We are now in a good position to reach our home mooring tomorrow.
