The barge was passed as being ship-shape and ready to sail thanks to Jenny’s superb rope coiling skills.
It was a day of blue skies and bright colours.
And a day of stunning scenery and tall bridges.
Jen is off her L’s and well and truly onto her P’s, and confidently navigated us through the forests and across the embankment.
We see lots of dogs being walked along the canal towpath, but lots of barge owners have dogs too. This gorgeous pooch was waiting for us to come through a lock.
There was the usual assortment of whacky things to see.
Our destination today was Market Drayton, about a 15 minute walk from the canal.
Like bloodhounds in the hunt, our noses took us to Joules Brewery, once run by monks.
In 1813 James Joule took over the brewery from his father and dedicated his life to making Joule Pale Ale an iconic English brew. He did a pretty good job!
