A tight squeeze, will we get through?

| Just! |
Another very hot day forecast with temperatures up to about 30 degrees so again we set off early planning to reach the village of Alrewas before lunchtime. After leaving Branston at 8:10 we ascended Tattenhall and Barton Turn Locks to go into Barton Marina to empty our waste tank.

| Wychnor Lock |
That completed we conitnued south on the Trent & Mersey to Wychnor Lock which takes the canal up to a channel leading back to the River Trent for 1.5 miles past a wide weir to Alrewas. There we left the Trent for the last time ascending Alrewas Lock into the village where we were fortunate to find a mooring.as the canal can be very busy there.

After lunch on board we walked into the centre to visit the renowned butcher fo a few extra provisions. As I write this the thermometer in our cabin is showing 33C so we are happy to spend the rest of our st ay indoors until tomorrow morning.
