5th April 2009


Gothersley Bridge to above The Bratch, Staffs and Worcs Canal


Evidence of it having been very cold overnight greeted us this morning - ice on the outside of the glass! but not the inside!


A lovely day developed and we know the waterways are for all, but there were just so many people out, fishermen galore, cyclists, walkers, runners, and lots of private boaters. Several locks today, including a staircase and the 3 famous Bratch locks. Polite queing here and there! Lots of extremely plush boats around, being cleaned and Brassoed - rather like a classic car gathering!


We think that we are a bit of conversation piece, as regulars along this stretch have not noticed our boat before!

11 locks 5 miles
