Today we have passed the results of the enormous amount of rain that the Midlands has experienced recently. Flooded fields after field where it is difficult to distinguish the river amongst all the water!
View from our Tixall Wide mooring
This is a remarkable stretch of canal where the water is as wide as the Thames and the surrounding countryside is stunning. We had noted it on our way through earlier in our journey and thought what a beautiful mooring, away from the motorways and railway, on the edge of the Shugborough estate. But, sadly, although it would have been the perfect place to spread out onto the towpath to enjoy a bbq in long June evening, it is absolutely hammering down with rain and our solar light has illuminated at 4.30 in the afternoon!
So much for the good summer Jenny forecast!
Hunters Moon is going into Great Haywood Marina for a rest whilst we return to Chi.
