Arrived Shugborough after a cold start to Rugely, where we stopped for a snack at Morrisons after a boat pulled out of one of the last moorings in town, which we handily took. Little did we know that while we were shopping the rest of the boats on the canal system would get moving! We found ourselves stuck in very slow boating traffic and a queue of 6 boats at Colwich lock that took an age to get through.
Sun is out now and we have been for a walk around Great Hayward including a look at the river and Shugborough Hall. We really like it here, although this stretch of canal seems to be attracting some rather unsavoury permanently moored tramp boats.
Below is a picture I took when we went through Armitage earlier this morning. It must be the home of the famous Armitage-Shanks!
