Reaching Tiverton

The one in Cheshire!

We stayed in Middlewhich until Thursday. Although the Middlewhich Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal is only a short length it is a busy Canal. Always something going on. We had an overnight stop so we could go into Aqueduct Marina to catch up with some washing. On the way we saw a lot of oil on the Canal, stretching for some distance. We were going to ring Canal and River Trust, but they already knew as we talked to a couple of guys who had come to check it out. The next day we had an email to say the length we had cruised on Thursday was now closed, so we were through just in time. Friday saw us turning out on to the main Shropshire Union Canal. Heading north for Chester. As it rained all day yesterday we lit the fire and stayed put.
So today we have traveled 6 miles and 6 locks, a long day for us! We did go for a walk at lunch time and just had to take a picture to show we were in Tiverton.
