Autherley Junction

 

Here I am Rune

Distance 4.1 miles 

Total 5322 Locks  433 Tunnels

Running total mileage 8027.6 miles

 

So, now back onto the Staffs & Worcs we have completed the 4 Counties Ring, taking us something like 3 weeks. Interestingly we passed a hire boat who were doing the same route in just one week; they had achieved it since they started from Middlewich and were within spitting distance of Middlewich when we saw them. Not sure I’d want to rush it to that extent as there are some very pleasant areas to explore on the route.

We are however ahead of our planned schedule by about a day since if we go up the Wolverhampton 21 flight tomorrow we’ll be in Birmingham by Sunday whereas I’d aimed to be there by Monday. I did take the opportunity whilst at tonights mooring to have put a coat of paint across the back deck, which has been in dire need of one. I hope to get another coat on it when we get to Birmingham, although if we stay here and extra day I could perhaps get another one on tomorrow.
