Guess who was guarding the curry Greg had made....It did taste delicious though!
It was still misty as we set off towards Norbury Junction but it was promising to be another nice day.
This jay was having a wash..
and then drying his wings.
As we were going past all the boats at Norbury Junction I saw this owl peering out of a box on the front of a boat.
The grass is always greener on the other side.
Along Grub Street Cutting you go under high bridge with a masonry strut carrying a telegraph pole in the middle.
This car was tucked out of sight near to where 2 boats were moored.
This is the old Cadburys chocolate factory whose goods used to be carried to and from Bournville by narrowboat. It now produces birds custard and angel delight.
We moored up for the night just before Tyrley locks. Greg went out walking with molly hoping to see some stars but got the moon instead.
You can just about see the welsh hills in the background from the top of the hill.
Tyrley Wharf and the first of todays locks.
They were lovely locks but it was a bit like riding the rapids when you came out of the locks
At the top of Audlem locks there is a little stall with cakes and scones on....the shortbread was just yum.
Just what I needed with 15 locks to go.....
We had planned to have a drink in the 'shroppie fly' but it still wasn't open when we finally reached it.
The last 2 locks of the day were at Hacks Green where there is a secret nuclear bunker . It is now a visitor attraction and they had a display of some tanks going round.
Nantwich was really busy as there is a Jazz music festival on this weekend.
Over the aquaduct
and past the craft boat...I'm sure Greg put his foot down going past....
We ve moored just near the bottom of the Llangollen Canal ready for an early start through the locks tomorrow morning.
Happy Days
