Settled at Salt on Trent and Mersey Canal

Moored Salt, Trent and Mersey Canal

A quiet time for us moored near the small village of Salt.  It has been raining a lot just as it is everywhere else, but the towpath is draining well and is not at all muddy, perfect when there are two collies as members of the crew of No Problem.

The temperature has been warm though, and I have done a lot of walking.  I don’t mind the rain when walking, in fact I rather like it as long as it isn’t freezing cold and blowing a gale.  Over the weekend I suppose Meg and Lucy have enjoyed as much as me some beautiful Staffordshire countryside both to the south and north of where we are moored..

This to the south of our mooring and below to the north in Sandon Park.  Here a view from the top of the hill in the park, zoomed in to see the Power Station at Rugeley some 9.5 miles away as the crow flies..

In between times I have been working on a mapping project, and even at my age I find that I am learning a lot about one thing or another, it certainly keeps the ol’ grey matter active!

We may move on a bit tomorrow, I spied some wood a few miles along the canal, and if the weather is OKish we will have that bit.  We need water, gas and fresh provisions soon, and also a pump out is due sometime at the end of the week, so we will make our way to Great Haywood.. no plans as to what after that though..
