It’s a great shame but it appears I did not snap any photos of my mooring location, perhaps because it was quite busy with pedestrians and boats. However, they were all very friendly and mooring here is still very pleasant, so much so, that I stayed a couple of nights<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a nice little place and is where I picked up a couple of Amazon packages from the local post office. This was located inside a Onestop shop on the offside of the canal accessed by a fairly busy road bridge. On the towpath side of the canal was the pub Plume Of Feathers which is owned by Neil Morrissey of Men Behaving Badly fame, although he has also appeared in Boon as Rocky and a few other TV programs. He apparently does help out in the kitchen from time to time but wasn’t there on the day I visited. I treated myself to a roast beef Sunday lunch accompanied by a lovely pint of Morrissey’s Plume Bitter. I must say, the food and drink here is exceptional and hats off to Neil and the staff at this great establishment. It’s a shame I am not returning back home this way, otherwise I would definately be calling in for more of the same.
