Sunday 21 August 2011

From Park Gate Lock, Teddesley, to below Gailey Lock, Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal

A lovely summers day, and plenty of boats moving. As we approached Penkridge, we spotted a boating acquaintance from a month or so ago, who we recall very bravely changed her engine mountings alongside the towpath! She bravely said the mountings were still bedding in!

We managed to get water in Penkridge, though had to be patient. On to Gailey - the locks are dotted every couple of miles or so, and boats seemed perfectly timed to go up and down, without wasting water or energy. We stopped for lunch and didn't move on - did some boat painting instead!
