Whoops!!! It's been a while since my last post, sorry to anyone who follows this blog.  We were moored up for three weeks at Market Harborough Basin so that we could sort out various appointments and attend a family party.  We eventually set off on 20/5/13 and have spent the last few days heading up towards Stone.  This has involved some long days, sadly in some pretty crap weather.  However the last two days have been lovely, with lots of sunshine.  We have even managed to spend the last two evening sitting out on the towpath and drinking wine/beer.

We are now on the Trent and Mersey heading towards Stone, from tomorrow we will be travelling along parts of the canal that we have not visited before although we did visit points further north on this canal last year.  Time to slow down now and enjoy the trip.

Charity Dock on the Coventry Canal

I love this place always something of interest to see and has not yet succumbed to the general gentrification of the waterways!!

Great Heywood Junction was busy today!
