We all got out of bed this morning to head to Wombourne Car Boot, where we all picked up some goodies. Back to Harebell for lunch and a few chores & maintenance. James & Sophie went for a wander and found a park to play in whilst Marcus added some much needed hinges to the hatches under our mattress.....Will make it a lot easier to get our bedding in & out.
We st off early afternoon in fab sunshine and quickly caught up with a single handed boater at the first locks, which happened to be Botterham Staircase. Sophie & James helped him through that lock and all the others until he moored up at Greensforge. We stopped at Greensforge for water and then Sophie & James discovered the magnet and have been trying to fish treasures out of the canal ever since. The last few locks passed quite easily for me, as I was reading after clearing up from the tea & donuts at Greensforge. We passed our planned mooring spot by the Roundhouse ruin and turned round at the Stourton Junction and found a great spot in our favourite area.
James spent quite a while trying to fish out stuff from the canal....they dropped the magnet from the bridge & found 2 scaffolding links. Great!
