After I left my mooring at Great Haywood I went through the lock and I stopped at the conveniently located boater services right by Great Haywood junction. This junction is where the Staffordshire & Worcester Canal which comes from Wolverhampton, joins the Trent & Mersey Canal. I will be coming up from that direction on the way home.
I had originally thought that this boat below was coming through the bridge and I slowed down. After passing under the bridge I discovered that he was moored up, perhaps a little too close to the bridge making transition a little more difficult than it should be. A bit like parking your car too close to a junction.
The scenery around here was great, especially with this farm right on the top of the hill. The road to it looked a tad on the steep side but I doubt the farmer would have any problems with his tractor or his highest spec Range Rover 4×4. It appears I didn’t get any closer shots but it definitely was a steep hill.
These videos were from Sandon lock, I believe, which was a short distance before I moored..
I had moored just north of Carr House Bridge (89) and this was in the middle of nowhere, ideal for me. The name is taken from Carr House nearby but I couldn’t find out much more information about it.
The mooring was extremely peaceful and on this occasion, I was not invaded by a multitude of other boaters, which was nice.
I nearly forgot this short video of some bovine frolicking. Quite entertaining really as they are all bullocks.
