We were prepared for rain and possibly hail, but fortunately neither was a problem. As we were ahead of plan we started later than usual and around lunch time moored at Great Haywood where the Staffs & Worcestershire Canal joins the Trent & Mersey Canal.
The picture shows Tixall Wide near Great Haywoood where the Staffs & Worcestershire canal forms a large lake, a favourite mooring spot for boaters.
Tixall Wide It is overlooked by the gatehouse of the long demolished Tixall House. If that is just the gatehouse I wonder what the house was like! |
