Not many miles done today but plenty of jobs done.
We set off from our over night moorings and passed through even more cuttings. One bridge is rather interesting as it has a telegraph pole in the middle of it.
Which led us to Norbury junction. Not a junction anymore as the branch that used to run to Telford has long since closed.
Though there is still lots going on there. We had a shower and dropped our laundry off for a service wash, and had an ice cream in the sun. There was also a very good chandlers where I got some ropes and grease.
We then sat on the boat and waited for the washing while we watched the boats go by. A couple of hours later we collected the washing, filled up with diesel, cheapest we've seen so far and headed off in search of solitude.
We moored up just outside of Gnosall, where I put my new rope, chain and anchor together.
The good captain resisted the temptation to push me over the edge and send me to Davey Jones locker. Just hope my splicing is up to the job or when we get to a river this blog may end.
