Hopwas to Rugeley

Tuesday 16 April

Got started just before 9.00 on a rather cloudy morning though it was a little warmer. We went through the swing bridge and turned onto the Trent and Mersey. We did Fradley Middle Lock and Shade House Lock with a bit of help from a VLK, continued through Wood End Lock and then stopped for lunch. In the afternoon we carried on as far as Rugeley stopping just after 4.00. We needed a few items so walked to Morrisons, had a cup of tea and did the shopping. Later we went for a walk along the towpath to the churches (old and new).
