Goldstone to Brewood (Shropshire Union Canal)

We are still moving south and east along the canal.

The combination of cuttings and embankments make for interesting views along the way. In many places, we could see The Wrekin in the distance.

Gemma saw a kingfisher this morning.

It was actually warm this morning when the sun shone, which made a nice change. In fact, the weather has been dry all day, unlike the forecast...

The photos show the unusual bridge in Grub Street Cutting, and Cowley Tunnel, which at 81 yards long is more like a long bridge.

We're currently moored up at Brewood (pronounced Brood) - which is an ideal combination; quiet moorings but pubs and shops only a short distance away.

17 miles, 1 lock, 1 little tunnel today.
