Grey and rainy all day.
We got started about 9:00 am, and set off north again, passing Canal World Forum boat Aquagem.
I got seriously wet, so changed into waterproof overtrousers and waterproof boots - which I wore all day - possibly explaining why my legs ached so much by the end of the day - every step meant lifting the heavy boots through the wet grass.

We headed on up the Staffs & Worcs Canal - eventually passing through Tixall Wide, which was attractive, but having heard so much of it - I was sort of expecting more.Building at Tixall Wide
We turned left at Great Haywood Junction, and carried on to Weston-Upon-Trent where we moored, then headed for the pub.Happy Boater
