After completing the weekly shop in Cannock, we had lunch and then moved on from Gailey to Penkridge, which is an easy afternoon cruise incorporating just 5 locks. Still unfortunately within earshot of the M6 motorway, but since it is a constant drone it doesn’t disturb too much.

Not sure whether we’ll move on from Penkridge tomorrow, or stay for a couple of days. Unlike Gailey it is accessible since there is a bus service so we could go into Stafford if we wanted to. The plan will be to make sure the water tank is full and the Thetford cassettes are empty then we can stay in Tixall wide for a few days.
