Day
27: Moored below the Adderley Locks
15
miles and 10 locks in 8 engine hours
It's
a fair run from Norbury Junction northwards, much of it in open
farmland.
It
starts though, with Grub Street Cutting and the iconic High Bridge.
Hidden in the woods is a vintage car – photo not that good from a
moving boat
The
canal has also long lengths of moored boats and so a reduced speed
extends the cruising time.
We
arrived at the Tyrley Locks and went down with a queue of boats and
followed on in a pleasant cruise to Market Drayton.
Market Drayton's WWII history
I
had intended to moor at the top of the Adderley Locks but when we
tried to get into the visitor moorings, the (in)famous Shroppie
'shelf' kept us a good 2 foot out. Our tyres are at 18” so no good
for this!
So,
we went down the 5 locks at Adderley and got the last mooring spot.
