| Sign pointing to water point |
|
We stopped at Tibberton again and had lunch on the boat, and took naps. (Below) |
Then we proceeded to Dunhampstead so that our grandson could drive back to their house with his dad so he could go to camp and his father could go to work in the morning. |
We tried to fill up with water (top), but the sign said there was a charge. |
Actually according to the hire boat guy, the sign was wrong, and we could have gotten water without paying because it was the hire boat company's water point. |
We moored in the hire company basin (last picture), and unloaded stuff. After Bob wandered around and looked at the spray booth and the new boat they were building there, we went and had dinner. |
After we got back to the boat another couple with two teen age boys came in and moored next to us. They had the boat for a week and had done the whole ring up through Birmingham. They said it was nice except for the Wolverhampton part when some boys made rude remarks like they were going to break in a steal stuff off the boat (the TV) and asking them for a ride etc. |
In the directions that came with the boat (in case we forgot something) it said in that case to take their pictures (which I probably would have done anyway - I came back from this two week trip (the whole trip not just this weekend) with 26 floppies of digital pictures (between 6 and 20 per disk) and 12 rolls of film). This particular day, since it was bright and sunny, I took a LOT of pictures On our way home we had a less salubrious stop at Bourton on the Water |

Very interesting...I spent 3 years at a boys school in the early '70's at Sacred Heart Boys College. Unfortunately never did see the canal. Was famous as a salt town like Nantwich. Will come back for a good browse.Tim | campsong Fri Oct 21, 2005 02:54 UTC
Thanks for the great report on the canal trip. It makes me want to rent one. | iandsmith Tue May 25, 2004 18:53 UTC
It's a shame more people don't take time out, not only to travel like you did, but simply to visit "different" pages. | sandysmith Wed Jan 29, 2003 23:19 UTC
