Kidsgrove to Engine Lock 7th Oct 2015
Another trip to the vets with Ginger this morning as his scar has got infected and he had an uncomfortable night, a course of antibiotics prescribed. Back to the boat to meet up with a prospective Hybrid System purchaser who want to see a system in operation, a short trip from Lock 42 to Hardings Wood Junction to show off the electric drive. After the crew arrive back from the shopping trip we set off to Harecastle tunnel and after a short wait for two boats heading north we set off leading a convoy of three boats. Forty minutes later we emerge into the daylight again and continue through Stoke to Etruria Junction to take water, dispose of the rubbish and empty the toilet tank. From Etruria we climb the staircase lock and set off on the Caldon canal up Planet lock and through Hanley Park and out of Stoke to a rural mooring above Engine Lock. Dinner on the boat tonight.
