Susie and Stephanie's Big Adventure

Day 3 – Staffordshire

By Susie April 13, 2017 Leave a Comment

Today we covered old ground, 2 years ago we did the 4 counties ring with my mother and sister and today we revisited some of that canal.

We also passed the midway point of the Trent and Mersey Canal

Stephanie was excited to see these gamboling lambs

But we also saw a more urban environment as we passed The Plum Pudding in Rugeley

The Plum Pudding, Rugeley – with a sky which didn’t bode well…

I love Ovaltine, but I nearly crashed trying to steer and take this photo at the same time.

Departed 8.01am from Bridge 55
Ended 7:56pm Bridge 103 Parked outside actor Neil Morrisey’s pub the Plume of Feathers.

Outside the Plume of Feathers. The ale was said to be excellent but we were too tired to go out.

Journey time 11 hours 55 minutes.
22 miles, 14 locks
36 lock miles, average 3 lock miles per hour.
