Day 6 - Hopwas to Rugeley

Monday 8th June

15 miles, 3 locks

7.15 alarm as Paul had a meeting in the Swan at Fradley Junction at noon about the data job at BEP!



Boundary between the Birmingham and Fazeley and the Coventry Canals

Canal was noticeably busier today weather bright but still breezy below average temperature. Passed the stone where the Birmingham and Fazeley canal becomes the Coventry canal that we missed last year.









After coffee in the café at Fradley junction and lunch at the boat we decided to cruise on to Rugeley. Moored near bridge 66 just as a shower occurred. When rain had stopped we walked up to Tesco and did the shopping.

Quiet evening watching nature programmes. Plenty of boats on moorings but very quiet.
