First job in the morning was to prepare a shopping list and make the fairly lengthy walk to Morrisons in Market Drayton. As we were walking back it started to rain but not badly enough to prevent us setting out after lunch wearing waterproof jackets and trousers. With the right clothing and provided there isnt a strong wind cruising in the rain isnt too uncomfortable. As we will see locks can present more of a problem.
The light rain continued and became heavier as we approached the top of the 5 Adderley Locks 3 miles from Market Drayton. So we decided to stop, but by the time we had tied all the ropes the rain had ceased. So we set off again. At the second lock Denise slipped painfully on the wet stones but fortunately hasnt appeared to suffer any real damage. The rain started again so we moored for the second time at the bottom of the flight rather earlier than we had hoped.
