Rugeley



Here I am Rune
Distance 8.8 miles
Total 1055 Locks 58 Tunnels
Running total mileage 1429.5miles

Today was what canal-boating was all about, extremely pleasant weather and a gentle cruise along a picturesque canal (well at least until you get to Armitage toilet factory with the view of Rugeley power station!). Interestingly having checked this blog for the last time we travelled up this bit of canal (22nd August last year) where we moored last night at Fradley bridge was about a boat length away from where we moored the previous time, shows it must be a decent mooring.

 Upon reaching Rugeley we have moored on the town mooring but looking at last time we had moored about 700 metres further on (presumably because these mooring were full in August). We might take the opportunity to actually visit Rugeley town centre this time. 

Tomorrow we’ll be pressing on towards (and hopefully beyond) Great Haywood Junction
