On the Staffs and Worcs

We left Wolverhampton on Saturday afternoon. We were lucky in that we didn't have any rain. Not so lucky in that the locks were empty and we were about 8 locks down

Think the sign says it all!

before we met a boat coming up. There are 21 locks in all with no stopping place so you have to work them all  in one go. We were about 4 locks from the bottom when 3 Canal and River Trust guys arrived to help us with the last few, in fact for the last 2 they told me to get on board and they worked us down the last 2 locks. The whole lot took us 3 1/2 hours, so not bad going. My phone told me I had walked 19,114 steps! But that did include a walk into Wolverhampton in

Helpers at the bottom!

the morning. Cruising about another half hour we stopped at a favourite spot of ours where we haven't been for about a year. We call it Morrison's Mooring. I expect you can work out why!
Yesterday we didn't go anywhere! Will move on later if the rain stops!
