Church Lawton to Barlaston

 Rain for most of the day, except in Harecastle tunnel of course. Now moored outside The Plume of Feathers in Barlaston.

13 miles 12 locks 1 tunnel, in 5hrs 25mins. what3words ///feast.spend.move 😊

Approaching the 1st of the Red Bull flight of locks

NO TRAIN!!

The Red Bull Hotel, I know it is, it say so on the wall

Poole Aqueduct taking the Macclesfield canal over the Trent & Mersey

Leaving the top Red Bull lock and our helpers for the last 2 locks

Hardings Wood junction and the start of the Macclesfield canal

Having travelled through Harecastle tunnel, we stopped briefly to take on water

They have done a lot of work to smarten the area up

Leaving the southern portal of Harecastle tunnel

An abandoned bottle kiln

A lot of new buildings gone up since we last passed through

Approaching Etruria junction with the Caldon canal on the left

Top lock at Etruria leaking very badly

STILL NO TRAIN!!
