21st August
After a leisurely breakfast James did the 180 turn in the wide without having to use reverse.

It was back up to Great Haywood junction where there was chaos with boats in all three directions trying to negotiate the junction. We were eventually through having turned right onto the Trent and Mersey again and were at Haywood Lock, then through Colwich Lock. Then it was a lunch stop just before the aqueduct over the River Trent.

Back on the go, Rugeley came and went, through Armitage tunnel and past the loo factory, another three locks down and we were at Fradley Junction were we turned right onto the Coventry Canal, through the little swing bridge and moored up at the end of the visitor moorings. We had a wander back to the junction and into the Mucky Duck leaving the braised beef cooking away on the stove.
