A lovely pleasant cruising day through the cuttings on the Shroppie. We set off slightly earlier than usual as we wanted to stop off for diesel and services at Wheaton Aston and hopefully moor early in time to watch the men’s semi-finals at Wimbledon. It was fairly quiet first thing, but as we had just finished watering the lock was in our favour, as we arrived there was a five boat queue above the lock and four boats had suddenly appeared behind us. From there on it got very busy with passing boats, including nb Chance. It was nice to see Doug, James and Oscar as we were approaching Brewood. As it has forecast a good weekend and we are in a lovely spot just outside Brewood, we plan to stay put and get a few jobs done, but also we can get to watch the tennis finals and the Moto GP.
