Market Drayton to Audlem - 6.5 miles, 20 locks, 4.5 hours.

We woke to a beautiful morning and miraculously hangover free!!

We had a big day of locks to get through today.  With a flight of 5 at Adderley and then 15 at Audlem.

We were lucky that we had help for the 15 at Audlem, as John, Annita and Sarah joined us.

We soon had a system going at the locks, certainly made my life much easier and as there was very little traffic, we were able to get the lock in front set up ready for Rod to sail straight into.

Sarah did a particularly good job of looking after George.

How many girls does it take to open a lock gate?  In our defence some of the are very heavy and we had already done loads!

Still can't believe what beautiful weather we had for October.

We moored just after the bottom lock, apparently near a secret nuclear bunker - some one needs to explain the word secret!!

We then downloaded Strictly which we watched this morning, for those at the party on Saturday night I really think Ant and Rod should enter next year, would bring a whole new dimension to the show!!
