CRUISING TO FAZELEY

Hi folks and my friend Colin we have arrived at the visitor moorings at Fazeley which are now 48 hours only ,well they dont want us to overstay our welcome.

A shopping day tomorrow and then onwards towards Glascote locks ,more hard work for the wife but she likes it I hope.

IT MUST BE SUMMER AT LAST

Hi folks today we have cruised from Handsacre to Sutton Road Bridge at Fazeley .It has been a pleasant day not wall to wall sunshine but it was dry .Just one small hiccup i picked up some rubbish and had to clear the prop ,well it give me something to do i suppose.

The cruise continues

Just a short cruise from Gt.Haywood junction to Handsacre with of cause a stop at Rugley for the essential food supplys . I was pleased to find the chippy was still open but sorry to see the Crown Pub on the canal side has closed .

Its a shame that the boaters watering holes are saddly getting few and far between lets hope someone reopens the Crown soon.

Chicheemaun and the days cruise

Today we have cruised to Tixel Wide not far but a pleasant day and plenty of water in fact to much many of the fields are under water .

After we had moored up we met up with some friends from America Dennis and Diane who have a boat and spend as much time as they can cruising the canals.

A day at stafford

We have spent our day moored near Radford Bank and owing to the very heavy rain we just chilled out for the day.

The fields around us are flooded because the river Penk has once again burst its banks.

We went to the pub for a carvery only to be told that out of 3 meats they only had gammon . As you can gess i was not impressed and sugested they should sack the manager and chef .

So we returned to the boat and cooked our meal .

A day cruising to Stafford

Yes we made it we cruised from our mooring to Radford Bank followed closely by Dave and Joy also from Otherton Boat Haven.

A nice day not sunny but atleast it was dry and plenty of water below the boat lets hope tomorrow will be as nice ( fingers crossed ).

THE RETURN OF CHI-CHEEMAUN

We cant wait any longer for the summer sun to arrive so lookout other boaters we will be cruising again from the 8th September onwards .

Well it will stop us from going mad and give the boat some thing to do other than sit in the water .

At least we will have plenty of water to cruise we will be heading towards Gt.Haywood and the Trent and Mersey canal.
