We set off for Market Drayton on Wednesday morning – a trip
of six miles and five locks. The weather
wasn’t as warm as predicted but was pleasant enough. The views were still very rural – in the
background towards the right you can just make out a hill - The Wrekin.
Woodseaves cutting was impressive with its rocky sides and
high bridges. The only downside was that
the towpath was very muddy. Buddy used
to do everything he could to avoid mud and water but that has all changed since
we took him to the beach over Easter. He
now races through the mud and puddles so needs a good clean before getting on
the boat.
He also seems to prefer drinking from the canal rather than
his dog bowl.
Just before we arrived at Market Drayton we went down the
five Tyrley locks.
After mooring up we wandered along the towpath to find Karen’s
cousin Dave and his wife Barbara who are heading south in their boat. They were moored at the other end of Market
Drayton and we all went for a walk around the town. In the evening we met up in a pub for a few drinks and a chat.
