Friday 24th August

Set sail up the Staffs and Worcester seven and a half miles and 8 locks later we moored up at Swindon Bridge. This journey was a most pleasant trip with some of the best canal country and challenging bends as it follows the Smestow Brook and clings to the side of rock walls.

Saturday 25th August.

A rest day, Grahams turn to collect the news papers.

Morning coffee on the bank watching the clouds as it threatened rain, afternoon tea on Autumn Years whilst it poured with rain out side. Otherwise the day was a good one with the sun shinning most of the day.
