Last night we met up with old boating friends o eat at The Junction pub. It had turned so cool when we got back to the we lit the Dickinson.
Today was unusual for us as we didn’t set off until gone 1pm. The reason for this was that we had a chicken to kook in the slow cooker so its better to do it while the engine running than draining the batteries.
We slowly made our way past all the moored boats to the junction and then as many boats again the other side.
One of the highlights of this canal is this bridge with an old telegraph pole in it.
We called in and had coffee with Anne and Oli on their moorings at Shebdon before continuing north, hence our slow progress today, even so we spent a lot of time on tick over passed all the moored boats. We passed this boat with a rather unusual paint job.
A short way before The Wharf Tavern at Goldstone there is now a Glamping site with these pods.
Through the bridge and on the edge of the pub garden is a swan’s nest that looks as if its built on lawn clippings .
