10 miles, 5 locks
Still dry and cold. Used the loo at 5.30 only to look out at mist rising from the canal and the fields! Should this happen in June? I'm not sure.
Cruised along past Shugborough which looked very regal - a boat "Definitive" pulled out in front of us beating us to the empty lock. Had a chat with them and met them on and off throughout the day.

| Passing Great Hayward junction |
Had to do a quick reverse at Great Hayward junction as a boat pulled out without looking and without using his horn.

| A pike lurking at Weston lock |
Saw a large pike swimming near the surface at Weston lock. Paul was so amazed he didn't see me open the lock gates!

| Ponies drinking! |

| Outside with book at Stone - first time on this trip |
Cruised into Stone expecting to struggle to find a mooring but we had a choice of many. Chose to moor opposite a swan's nest.
Walked into Stone centre which was full of charity shops and looking a tad run down. Did spot a nice looking family run Italian restaurant so we went there for my birthday meal. It was lovely.
