3 days on the Shroppie

With the change in the weather (April like in early February) a few days on the Shropshire Union Canal seemed like a nice idea.

Very quite on the canal, only saw one other boat on the move, but lovely clear blue sky. Spent the first night at Wheaton Aston and on the second day cruised to the winding hole at Church Eaton.


Stopped at the winding hole to have lunch at the Royal Oak, only a ten minute walk into the village. Unfortunately the pub is closed at lunch times, according to a couple I saw walking their dog it doesn't open until 4pm.

Decided instead to head back to Wheaton Aston and spend the evening in the Hartley Arms instead.
On the third day travelled back to our mooring at Wolverhampton Boat Club. Once again absolutely gorgeous weather.
