The weather forecast was much the same as yesterday - a pleasant morning with rain in the afternoon. We set off at 9:30 and were soon out of the fairly flat and uninteresting farmland into low hills where the Shropshire Union canal keeps to a constant level with the help of a continuous series of deep cuttings and high embankments. Unfortunately trees along side the canal often prevent good views from the embankments but the dark heavily wooded cuttings are delightful.
There was steady traffic on the canal and we had a short wait at the single Wheaton Aston lock. Then onwards to Gnosall (pronounced nose-el) where we moored after a journey of 10 miles. Here we had lunch, and soon afterwards the rain started, just like yesterday.
