Now at Market Drayton

In a week we have moved on just 12 miles! Surviving both storms Abigail and Barney. Thankfully we have been tucked up inside when the rain has been really heavy. The wind though has had us rocking. One of our planters did blow over but otherwise everything was fine.
On Saturday we arrived at Hack Green. Place of the Secret Bunker. You can't miss it there are signs everywhere. There used to be RAF Hack Green during the war. Then during the Cold War it became a government control Bunker. Now it is a museum. Very interesting if a bit harrowing at times.
Looking up 9 of the 15 locks at Audlem
We completed all 9 in 2 hours - phew

Canal side building used by blacksmiths, stonemasons
and carpenters to maintain the flight

Another smaller buil









Moving on we have been about 3 days traveling up through Audlem. 15 locks in total and a comms black hole. No phones or internet.
Arrived this afternoon at Market Drayton. Off to explore tomorrow.
