Engine Lock to Hazlehurst via Leek 8th-9th October 2015

A lazy day on the Thursday, with some boat maintenance and some of the crew taking a 6mile walk over the local hills. A short hop late in the afternoon from the mooring above Engine Lock to the top of the Stockton Brook flight. Friday we set off from Stockton Brook and headed up the Leek arm to the turning point just short of the end of the canal. After a shopping expedition to Leek we returned down the branch stopping near to Hazlehurst Junction on the aqueduct where the Leek arm crosses the main line to Froghall. Dinner in the Holly Bush tonight where two friends are joining the crew for their first trip on the boat.
