Wednesday 26th April
Maesbury Marsh to Weston Arm Junction
Having turned round, we are now retracing our steps. We
reverted to our usual leaving time of 8.30, but soon stopped at the boaters’
services for a pump out. But as the machine wasn’t working, we had to wait for
a Canal and River Trust person to come out and fix it. He did appear within
half an hour, but of course, we were delayed somewhat and did not leave there
until nearly 11.00.

| 3rd view with bridge |

| 4th view with mid-19th century building |
Up the three Aston Locks and then lunch, before continuing
up a fourth lock and mooring for the night at the Weston Arm Junction. The Weston
Arm was intended to go to Shrewsbury – don’t think it ever got that far, but
anyway the canal arm was abandoned in 1917.

| The Weston Arm - Chyandour moored in the distance by the bridge. |
Our early evening walk took us up a minor road towards
Lower Frankton and we returned to the boat walking down the towpath past the
locks we will go up tomorrow morning.
Another dry day with a lot of sunshine, but not very warm
considering it is nearly the end of April.
Today’s miles and locks – 6.00 miles 4 locks
Total miles and locks – 149.50 miles
92 locks
