After a quick shop, we untied the ropes and carried on a couple of miles and moored in the noisiest place we could find being Eggington, alongside the A38. Obviously we weren't thinking about the traffic noise at the time, but we wanted some time to do some jobs on the butty and make some more bits for the stall.
Finished the stool and Richard varnished it this morning. We both had quite a productive couple of days making an awning for the stall and Richard making fenders!
This morning, the weather was beautiful as we sailed through Stretton and then the first single lock on the T & M at Burton on Trent. This would mean we would have to separate the boats each time we reached a lock and do them both twice! Good exercise, no need for a run these days!

| Tatenhill lock, really picturesque and quiet from the A38 for a while! |
This bridge before Barton Turns, is really narrow and was quite a challenge to get through unscathed, good job the fenders were up else we could have got wedged!
The Scoob loves the towpath, chasing the smells and racing along ahead of us!
Finally tonight we moored at Wychnor lock (near Alrewas), where Richard could play with the 'Sunset' setting on his camera....
