Thurday 17th March
Today we actually did some travelling! We have come 9 miles and 5 locks to Shardlow where we moored in the village and obviously went to the pub! I had forgotten how hard it was doing double locks not having done any since we went to Chester last year and needed a packet of crisps, a packet of scampi fries and a pint of Bombardier in The New Inn to recover!
We were joined in the moorings by 2 other boats later on. The last time we came to Shardlow there wasn’t an inch of mooring space to be had but that was Easter last year.
Tomorrow we are going down to Trent Lock to wait for Barry and Barbara, who will arrive sometime on Sunday.
