After breakfast I was able to get away about 7.30am and continue my journey towards Wolverhampton. The couple on the boat that had been moored behind me were celebrating the woman's 50th birthday today by planning for a meal in Birmingham this evening.
Now, with average timings, it takes about 14 hours to travel from Bratch to Worcester Bar (Gas Street Basin) in Birmingham, so I have no idea what time they were planning to eat tonight, or whether they will feel like it after working up the 21 locks in 2 miles from Aldersley Junction to Wolverhampton!
I stopped for a coffee break and shopping at Compton and then continued to Autherley Junction where I moored for the night at about 12.15pm. This might seem a bit early, but I was able to spend the afternoon finishing some boat-painting and cleaning.
That's about all, really, although it might be noted that the weather has turned decidedly less clement this evening and it is now hammering it down with rain.
