Back in Stone
Wonderful weather continues. Went almost to Great Hayward and turned around (excellent job by the skipper of making a turn with a 58 foot boat!!!!) Have stopped in the town of Stone for the night, hopefully in a quiet spot...no pubs nearby or trains zipping past at 80 skillion miles an hour. Have found the secret to good coffee in England is...make it yourself. Bought a French press and now make coffee on board. Eating bacon butties, lamb chops and fresh strawberries with clotted cream. Really roughing it this trip. Next stop...the Caldon Canal...finally got the hang of operating the locks. Had to do them today with lots of Sunday strollers as spectators and many tips and advice...some of it conflicting! Oh well, onward to Leek.

Sounds like you are having a great time!! That's good to hear. We finally had a nice sunny weekend so that makes me a tiny bit less envious of your trip. (just a wee bit)
Keep updating the Blog so we can live vicariously through you.
Cheers from Corridor
Glad you're not pulling Exxon Valdez's in the canals. All is quiet on the home front so keep enjoying the trip and having fun. :)
