Today is our penultimate day on our Four Counties Ring. We left Sandon quite early in the morning, the weather was not that good but it did stay dry most of the day for our trip. We headed for Great Haywood Junction for our overnight mooring. We stopped at the Junction so that we could get rid of the rubbish and visit the shop. We also went to the Farm shop at the junction to buy some provisions. It is an amazing shop and we spent quite a lot of money on goodies. It was strange coming back to the junction where we started our journey on the Staff and Worcs canal. We headed for bridge 72 just past the junction and stopped in almost the same place we stopped at the start of our journey. As we were mooring up to bridge 72 it started to rain very heavily. So we were soaking wet in minutes, good old British summer. As we were planning where to moor we stopped by Aslan, which is a narrowboat that is on YouTube that John and I used to watch when we were planning our return to the UK. We went for a walk to the Red Lion as we had enjoyed the first time we visited, we only had one drink as the rain started again along with the thunder. Back to the mooring for the night. One more lock tomorrow and a 3 hour cruise and then we will be back at the marina.
