Stoke on Trent (Longport/Tunstall)



Here I am Rune
Distance 8 miles
Total 582 Locks 19 Tunnels
Running total mileage 880.7 miles

Again we have achieved our target of getting to Westport Water Park for the nights mooring. It is convenient that there is an ASDA superstore nearby so we can stock up on the essentials (food, alcohol!). Have carried out a short engine check and maintenance since we are going through Harecastle Tunnel tomorrow and I wouldn’t want anything to go wrong with the engine. Re-charged the stern gland greaser and checked the fuel agglomerator to make sure we have no water in the fuel.
Tomorrow, once we are through Red Bull Lock we are into new ground since we have never travelled along this section before, not even in a hire boat. We will need to press on towards Sandbach since that is likely to be our source of weekend shopping.
