The weather was overcast and cool when we set off at 9am. Then a short journey to Barton Turn Lock beyond which there is a water tap .

| On the Trent & Mersey Canal near Burton |
Having filled our tank we set off again to the outskirts of Burton where we moored to walk the 1/4 mile to the nearby large Morrisons where we stocked up with goceries. It was a heavy load with 3 bags and a backpack, all full. Unfortunately when we left the shop it was pouring with rain. After dithering for a while, as we had brought umbrellas we decided to walk back to the boat.
The rain showed no immediate sign of stopping so we had lunch on board and by 2pm were able to set off to the Festival. We found our allocated mooring spot and booked in. There will be photos of the site tomorrow and/or Saturday when all the boats have arrived.
2 hours 55 mins, 3 locks 4.4 mile
