Rod rage

Filled up with water then set off early as today we knew that we had a few locks to work, all I can tell you today is open a lock, fill up a lock and then leave a lock repeated about 35 times so tonight we are both knackered .

Besides the lock our bit of excitement is when we approached Stoke Prior, as we approached the visitor mooring there was two anglers fishing , so not wanting to disturb then I asked one of them if this was the only mooring or was there more around the bend, he then got arsey and started effing and blinding saying that I nearly broke his rod, so I was not having any of this so put the boat in reverse and got off and started arguing with him pointing out that this was a mooring and also pointing out that their was signs all around saying no fishing, he soon went a bit quiet and then started packing up his equipment.

We decided to carry on and on the way as we passed under a bridge this angle started throwing stones though he knew that I was out of his range to get off the boat and back to him , hence the title Rod Rage.

We carried on and moored up knackered and tired at Hanbury wharf.see you tomorrow
