We finally passed through all 15 locks at Audlem, which were not too bad and the scenery on route was spectacular. Two things which really characterise this canal are:
1. Its very straight!
2. It is in the most stunning English countryside.
Once you are through the Audlem locks its not very long until you hit the Adderley locks. These are very similar to the Audlem ones, but there are only 5 of them! We decided to moor up before the last 2 locks at Audlem for the night and then tackle the 7 remaining fresh in the morning. We wanted to get to Market Drayton for some provisions, but mostly to catch up with Steve and Caroline.
I thought it would be a good idea to show you our progress on our post-lockdown cruise. We need to get back to where we started by the 4th August – so we’re making good progress.
