We were away early this morning as a boat came down the flight at about 9am so we set off up at ten past. We had a good run up meeting several boats usually at ideal spots. We did all of todays 17 locks in 3 hours. While I worked Harnser up the top lock of the Audlem flight Diana selected some nice cakes from the Top Lock Cottage. She must enjoy baking, she is definitely good at it.
Almost at the top of the Adderley Flight I spotted this on a lock beam, you don’t see many of them about now, normally the number is just painted or routed into the beam.
Passing the Betton Woods someone has built some shelters on the high ground, I don’t know if anyone lives in them or not.
We carried on to moor for the night in Market Drayton just before bridge 63, this is very convenient for visiting Lidl etc.
