| Moored in Stone waiting for Yard Lock |
A warmer and sunnier day than yesterday. We set off at 9:30 and after ascending Aston Lock reached the moorings below Stone bottom lock at 11:00. We moored here for a couple of hours to shop at the local supermarket, this being our last chance for a few days.
After lunch on the boat we set off again at 13:00, going up through the 4 locks in the town to reach Meaford Locks at 14:30. One boater had told us that these locks would be closed at some time for a week because of a leaky gate, so we wanted to check the situation before going through. It looks like the repairs are in fact scheduled for the winter maintenance season , so no worry about us getting trapped on our way home in a 10 days time.
Today's journey: 4.36M, 5 locks.
