Leaving Market Drayton

Today we left our mooring as the weather was fine, actually a very sunny day but with a cold biting wind,we noticed the remnant of the second world war with this pill box that was installed to protect the waterways if the  the Germans ever invaded us.
We then filled up with water, and the started to cruise passed a long line of moored boats and then passed Victoria Wharf and through a cutting which is reputedly haunted before the canal opened up to farmland.

We then reached Adderley Locks  a flight of five, but these were done quite easy as there was boats coming up the lock and plenty of hand to do the locks.
Again open farmland decked our both sides till we came to the start of Audlem locks at a place called Coxbank we decided to do two out of fifteen locks before we moored for the night. I then went back on the bike to pick up the car( my bum muscles are killing me) and whilst away Denise had done some washing, settled down for the night and watched the television. So not a very exciting day but a pleasant dry one.

Here's a couple of boat names that are amusing
