We left Gosnall yesterday and the first encounter was a short tunnel which you can see was hewn out of the rock. It is short so we didn't need to use our tunnel light.

| Cowley Tunnel |
We stopped for lunch at Wheaton Aston then shortly after moving off there was a lock! First one for days. We were really lucky with a boat coming out as we approached and another waiting as we came out. It doesn't get better than that! Especially as there are not that many boats moving at the moment.

| Turnover bridge |
On our way to Brewood we passed this turnover bridge. For non boater among you this is where the tow path swaps from one side of the Canal to the other. The bridge was constructed so the horse could cross the Canal without being untethered from the boat. We are moving on later today towards the Staffordshire and Worcester Canal. We think we will be making our way to the Ashby to moor at Hinckley for Christmas.
