Coven, Staffs & Worcs Canal to Brewood, Shropshire Union Canal
Well today is our last day on the boat for about 3 weeks, as we need to return home to do chores and get our hair and grass cut etc etc
We returned back to Autherley Junction including a repeat of running the gauntlet through a very narrow cutting with the odd passing place, where we managed to get a thick carrier bag around the prop, the vibrations from which led Bob into thinking someting serious had occurred.
We turned right onto the Shropshire Union Canal and proceeded down one lock of 6", and in a very fed up way, moved on down to the mariana at Countrywide Cruisers at Brewood where the boat was booked in. Like the Staffs and Worc canal this one is just as attractive, in the countryside with very narrow, ornate bridges
So that's all for now folks, the next episode will include crossing the Llangollen Aqueduct.
Total for this part of journey : 93 miles and 48 locks
