Montgomery Canal: Queens Head -> Maesbury 18/7/2020

Engine start 561.6 13:00
Engine stop 564.2 15:30 = 2.5 hours
Miles: 3.5 Locks: 3 Lock miles: 6.5 plus 1 lift bridge twice!

After our massive dinner at the Queens Head yesterday, we felt the need to walk it off so set off to the end of the canal. Relieved to find that the mooring situation is much better further down so walked back to retrieve the boat. On the way, we encountered Dawn and David Aylwin from our IWA branch at Aston Lock 2.

Completed the navigation in moderate to light drizzle without problems. Went all the way to Gronwen Wharf where ADS winded and took some photos to record our first Silver Propellor location (only 19 to go!).



Saw Dawn and David again - their turn for a walk. They offered to let us breast up if space was short near the Navigation Inn at Maesbury but not required - plenty of room.

Takeaway beers from the Navigation and table booked for Sunday lunch tomorrow!
